Sentence examples for trait functions from inspiring English sources
Which genes and thus trait functions are then associated with fast adaptations and are thus likely the target of selection?
Less intense selection in the single drug treatments favored convergent mutational changes in several trait functions, including the AcrA-AcrB-TolC system and DNA integrity.
The genomic underpinnings of such rapid changes may provide information on the genetic processes that enhance fast responses and the particular trait functions under selection.
On the basis of genome sequences for a total of 63 evolved populations, our aim was to address the following three questions: 1) Which trait functions, genes, and/or molecular mechanisms show patterns of convergent evolution in the resistant populations and are thus potentially adaptive (cf. Christin et al. 2010; Wake et al. 2011)?
More elaborate ways of studying trait function can then follow.
This is an example of simple, yet informative approach to manipulate trait function.
Trait-lethal mutations that disrupt trait function enhance the drive towards specialization in synergy with trade-offs.
I suspect such a reader would stumble at phrases like "…structural consideration of trait construction and development or selective environment of trait functioning over historical time".
A more informative way about trait function and the role of developmental genetic mechanisms in shaping the trait is through genetic manipulation [ 14].
Historically, the emphasis was placed on whether structural consideration of trait development or environment of trait functioning are more influential at predicting and directing evolutionary change [ 1].
Adults emerging from such manipulations are viable, show trait reduction and can be subjected to tests of performance guided by the preestablished basic knowledge of trait function (see example below).
