Sentence examples for select traits from inspiring English sources

The above simulation study indicates that we can employ either method C or method D to get a valid significance threshold if variable selection is performed to select traits for multitrait analysis.

In this situation, (1) or (2) does not have the expected F distribution because of selection bias, and therefore we cannot rely on F tests to select traits.

By inserting genes from one species into another, plant breeders today can select traits with even greater specificity.

With advances in genetics, she notes, discriminating parents will soon be able to select traits in their unborn children.

By crossing and backcrossing progeny with parents in order to isolate desirable qualities — higher yields, stronger roots, frost resistance — plant breeders could select traits from a broad spectrum of varieties, and combine them to create superior seeds.

It allows breeders to select traits more precisely and thus speeds up breeding by reducing generational intervals: if you know which genetic traits an animal has, there is no need to wait several generations to see how things turn out.This will not happen everywhere.

One concerns the fact that natural selection is extensional (Fodor, 1990b) and the other concerns the fact that natural selection selects traits for complex causal roles (Neander, 1995).

Here, we show that condition-dependent expression is not sufficient to maintain genetic variance available to sexual selection in multiple male sexually selected traits.

Most sexually selected traits are under directional selection [32].

That said, it is also known that strong directional selection can increase DI in selected traits [ 47].
