Sentence examples for progeny quality from inspiring English sources

Hence, males could indirectly contribute to progeny quality and survival, even in species that provide no parental care.

Equally relevant for guiding the choice of enforcing monogamy in captive breeding is the observation that multiply mated females usually adjust the investment they make into offspring, affecting progeny quality and survival.

And it is also unclear whether a strong minimization of this load, let alone weaker ones, would deliver genome-wide decreases in the non-synonymous mutation load that would actually translate into performance and progeny-quality advantages large enough for selection to detect.

Choosy females can potentially obtain direct or indirect genetic benefits for their progeny (genetic quality or compatibility) [ 3- 5].

The second filter selected SNPs for which only one parent is polymorphic (permitting 1 1 segregation in the progeny), with SNP quality Q > 100 (phred-like score).

Here we challenge this assumption, reasoning that D. discoideum genotypes could potentially produce large numbers of small, low-quality progeny (i.e., small spores with relatively low viability) or invest in smaller numbers of larger but higher-quality progeny (i.e., larger spores with higher viability).

Based on predicated genetic effects, Yudou 29 and Zheng 90007 were better than other parents for increasing IC in the progeny and improving the quality of soybean.

There is also evidence that sires selected for extremes in breeding values for muscling or fatness will produce progeny with lower eating quality.

Since early pregnancy events not only affect embryonic development but also the fate and quality of progeny after birth [ 36], it is of great importance to trace the molecular pathways involved at the conceptus-maternal interface, especially in regard to miRNA-mRNA interactions.

Since linear survival functions s(d) favor asymmetric damage distribution, it is clear that nonlinear s(d) that are concave up (positive second derivative) also favor asymmetry, since for such survival functions asymmetry not only increases the expected quality of surviving progeny, but also the expected number of surviving progeny.

We could not obtain a clear brain aggregation result for CG1109 due to poor brain quality for all progeny from this cross.
