Sentence examples for selection is favored from inspiring English sources

In natural populations they have been interpreted as "lines of least evolutionary resistance" because selection screens pre-existing variance and hence, response to selection is favored along directions displaying an important variation [ 22].

This may seem to indicate that natural selection is favoring a lack of robustness.

This indicates that some form of natural selection is favoring the presence of σ70 sites in coding regions beyond random expectations.

This implies that, in E.coli, natural selection is favoring a high density of σ70-binding sites in regulatory regions, while keeping their frequencies low in other types of sequences.

The reference region is evolving neutrally, whereas in the test region, weak purifying selection is favoring C/G alleles over A/T alleles (fig. 2 A and C ) or A/T alleles over C/G alleles (fig. 2 B and D ).

Under "hard selection", this outcome is favored by the absence of fitness costs to both traits [ 10].

In 1997 Ernst Mayr defined the unit of selection as "a discrete entity and a cohesive whole, an individual or a social group, the survival and successful reproduction of which is favored by selection owing to its possession of certain properties".

If mutations occur randomly (i.e. none is favored by selection), most sequence variants (haplotypes) will each appear in only a few individual plants.

These results suggest that the genotype has significant effects on the individual birth weight and the backfat thickness, and that the selection of the A allele is favored with regard to the birth weight and the backfat thickness.

"Natural selection at the genetic level is favored toward the ability for individuals to cooperate socially and 'altruistically' within groups".

Interestingly, our model also shows that tissue specific expression is favored by selection, since the fitness of the population should increase with tissue specificity.
