This result shows the importance of the –ultimate function because in some cases it is difficult to select a confident genotype likelihood cut-off.
Due to the multiple roles of these genes, it is uncertain which ultimate function they would serve in temperature-stressed fish in this experiment.
The presence of two distinct populations not associated with housing, age or gender suggest that enterotypes, distinctly different microbial population compositions that can achieve the same ultimate function, might be present in bison, as has been suggested in humans.
Full recovery of the entire viscoelastic range (and presumably the ultimate function) was only achieved in the network containing a significant level of intermicrogel cross-linking.
Elucidating the motives that trigger punishment of cheats may yield insights into the ultimate function of punitive behaviour in humans: specifically, it may be the case that punishment is aimed at promoting fair behaviour rather than simply deterring partners from cheating.
In terms of their ultimate function, the putative psiRNAs appear to be conceptually most similar to eukaryotic siRNAs in that they are homologous to foreign, rather than endogenous, genes and are predicted to function as part of a defense system.
As the headman "White Fox John Hargraveve in dull mortal life), said at this year's Mote, when Kibbo Kift has really fulfilled its ultimate function it will have become merged in the life of the people and the whole nation will be Kibbo Kift.
For example, while communication understood by a biologist in terms of ultimate function is nothing more than an adaptive process of information exchange between two individuals that does not require cognition, the use of the term to describe a behavior may have Gricean implications to others, which in turn can lead to unjustified inferences about the about mechanism.
In summary, in tracheal epithelial cells the substratum and extracellular matrix in conjunction with hormonal factors such as retinoids determine the ultimate function of these cells.
Gersonides sees the ultimate function of astronomy to understand God.
