A possible explanation for evolution rejection in our level 1 students is that they have not had the opportunity to, or taken the trouble to learn much about evolution, i.e., they are poorly informed.
Although it contained no mention of any possible mechanisms for evolution, this paper foreshadowed the momentous paper he would write three years later.
The contiguous location of these eight ORFs on the same chromosome is suggestive of gene duplication events with subsequent divergences as a possible mechanism for evolution of this gene family.
Possible paths for evolution of this sequence can be deduced, starting from any single mutation and following the various lines inward, avoiding deleterious combinations.
This appears impossible at first because we are correctly trained to avoid Lamarckian transmission [ 40] and Lamarckian "directed mutation" as possible explanations for evolution at the general level [ 22, 23].
This demonstrates that it is possible for prey evolution (Fig. 2C) to be more important than predator evolution itself (Fig. 2B) in the framework of predator prey coevolution models (Tien and Ellner 2012), which is the central message of 'indirect evolutionary rescue'.
In addition, the separation of transcription, RNA processing, and translation provided more control over gene expression, making possible, for example, the evolution of alternative splicing [ 151].
It is not possible, for example, to demonstrate evolution in the classroom because macroscopic organisms do not run through enough generations, over reasonable times, to show measurable evolutionary effectsa.
He also shrewdly appealed to middle-class readers by making it possible for them to discuss evolution without automatically being thought irreligious.
