The conservatives also narrowly lost attempts to have students study the "sufficiency or insufficiency" of natural selection to explain the complexities of the cell, a major issue for proponents of intelligent design.
Failing to overhaul the curriculum broadly, conservatives instead attached a series of measures specific to subjects like biology, where teachers would be newly required to "analyze and evaluate the sufficiency or insufficiency of natural selection to explain the complexity of the cell".
The invocation of natural selection to explain the observed distributions of DAMs and nSNPs makes a number of predictions that can be tested using the available information on nSNP allele frequencies from the HapMap data.
Even if larger deletions could not be ruled out, these authors insisted on the importance of selection for explaining the genome shrinkage observed in endosymbionts.
While many studies evoke some form of sexual selection to explain genitalia diversity, the basis of selection and the mechanism of heterospecific mate exclusion remains vague.
There were no significant differences between biology and non-biology teachers with regard to their use of key concepts of natural selection to explain an evolution scenario.
Wallace eventually broke with Darwin in 1869 over the ability of natural selection to explain the human intellect.
Newton's insight about apples, and Darwin's mechanism of natural selection to explain evolution, have all withstood multiple experiments, and, having done so, graduate into 'theories.'theories
Darwin made extensive use of artificial selection to explain natural selection.
The final multivariate model, obtained by manually controlled stepwise forward and backward selection of variables, explained 15.8%% of variation in the ELISA results (Table 2).
"If the bustard is anything to go by, these same guys will be reaching for their toupees sooner than they'd like". This early- versus late-life trade-off can help explain why senescence occurs, and reveals the potential significance of sexual selection in explaining rates of aging.
