Phenotypes in a sentence

The Alba phenotypes of representative Colias species, the evolutionary relationships among major Colias lineages in light of their Alba phenotypes and regional distribution, and evidence for historical introgression.

The search for this is proving difficult: "Such traits—we speak of phenotypes—are of course always encoded in genome sequences," says plant physiologist Dr. Kenji Fukushima of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg.

The phenome comprises all the possible observable traits of DNA, known as phenotypes.

Thus, not only are the same genes involved in foot feathering phenotypes in pigeons and chickens, but the nature of the mutations also very much the same, at least in the case of Pitx1.

Adrenal insufficiency Treatment of the adrenal insufficiency that can accompany any of the common male phenotypes of ALD does not resolve any of the neurological symptoms.

After his death, the succeeding abbot burned all papers in Mendel's collection, to mark an end to the disputes over taxation. citation Experiments on plant hybridization Dominant and recessive phenotypes.

All patients with clinically recognized ALD phenotypes are at risk for adrenal insufficiency.

Alternatively, a breeder could, using individuals of differing phenotypes, create a new breed with specific characteristics.

Although genes contain all the information an organism uses to function, the environment plays an important role in determining the ultimate phenotypes an organism displays.

As pointed out in the subsection Units of selection, Dawkins says the gene is the fundamental unit of selection, and then points out that selection doesn't act directly upon the gene, but upon 'vehicles' or 'extended phenotypes'.

Conversely, some phenotypes could be the result of multiple genotypes.

Even two organisms with identical genotypes normally differ in their phenotypes.

Finally, balancing selection can occur through frequency-dependent selection, where the fitness of one particular phenotype depends on the distribution of other phenotypes in the population.

Graph 3 shows disruptive selection, in which the extreme phenotypes are favored over the intermediate.

In every generation, new mutations and re-combinations arise spontaneously, producing a new spectrum of phenotypes.

In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype lies somewhere between the two homozygous phenotypes.

In one case, a family with six affected members displayed five different phenotypes.

It is the living organism as a whole that contributes (or not) to the next generation, so natural selection affects the genetic structure of a population indirectly via the contribution of phenotypes.

Larvae with these traits have a higher chance of survival when exposed to the predators, but grow more slowly than other phenotypes.

Many databases exist, covering various information types: for example, DNA and protein sequences, molecular structures, phenotypes and biodiversity.
