The phrase 'the fundamental evolutionary' is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to the underlying and essential changes that have occurred in something over time that is the result of evolutionary processes. For example, "The fundamental evolutionary changes in human cellular structures are the key elements to why humans have advanced to the species we are today."
The fundamental evolutionary problem is persistence, and reproduction is but one means of achieving that (Bouchard 2004).
Through two performance-based activities, the unit introduces the fundamental evolutionary concepts that evolution lacks forethought and that natural selection is a sorting process.
Maynard Smith and Szathmáry, in contrast, argue that even with the existence of epigenetic inheritance processes, natural selection working on mutations that are typically not adaptive (i.e., non-directed) remains the fundamental evolutionary process (Maynard-Smith & Szathmáry 1995, p. 249).
Speciation is the fundamental evolutionary process that generates biological diversity.
As for other functions in bacteria, the fundamental evolutionary question is whether this property might have been specifically selected to increase adaptation potential or if it might be the side effect of cellular mechanisms in charge of DNA repair.
The current study paves the way for studies aimed at understanding the fundamental evolutionary mechanisms that operate on large temporal and spatial scales in species radiations.
At the fundamental evolutionary-theoretical level, the tolerance of the emerging eukaryotic cell to such an invasion could be potentially explained by a population bottleneck which severely limited the efficacy of purifying selection [ 50, 280, 285].
One of the most fundamental evolutionary questions concerning insect-bacteria symbiosis is the origin and phylogenetic relationships of various symbiotic lineages.
These findings have prompted a re-evaluation of the role of the mitochondrial genome in driving fundamental evolutionary processes [ 6, 16, 17], including the evolution of genome organization [ 18].
The exhibition links these diverse studies by emphasizing the interaction of four fundamental evolutionary principles: variation, inheritance, selection, and time (VIST).
While these are sample items from an ongoing study, they provide an interesting snapshot of the attitudes toward some fundamental evolutionary concepts.
