What Is a Trait Generally speaking, the common meaning of the word "trait" is some distinctive, recognizable characteristic that can vary between objects. The scientific definition is similar, but more specific: in biology, a trait is a specific characteristic stored within the genetic material of...
a. Develop a hypothesis related to the human body. b. Describe the independent variable. c. Describe the dependent variable. d. Describe the control variable (group). What is systematic observations in biology? Explain how genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and offsprin...
Understanding the evolutionary forces related to climate changes that have been shaped genetic variation within species has long been a fundamental pursuit in biology. In this study, we generated whole-genome sequence (WGS) data from 65 cross-bred and 45 Mongolian cattle. Together with 62 whole-ge...
For simplicity, our study considered the same pandemic period definition for all countries although NPIs were put in place in a heterochronous way. In addition, the influenza season defined in this study did not uniformly align well with that in the Southern Hemisphere due to the asynchronous ...
This immuno-metabolic network tying the host metabolites with its gut microbiota also points towards a key role of neutrophils in the definition of strongylid susceptibility. In line with this strand of evidence, we found a consistent covariation between circulating neutrophils and intrinsic susceptibilit...
168 Modified versions of the glass bead platelet retention test provided other crucial insights into platelet physiology, including the definition of the abnormalities in platelet function in uremia, afibrinogenemia, Glanzmann thrombasthenia, Bernard-Soulier syndrome, and von Willebrand disease.[169], [...
multiplexed, high-throughput and low-cost GBS technique to discover genome-wide high-quality SNPs in a diverse panel of moth bean. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first report that uses the genome-wide association to map genomic regions related to any trait in this ...
The volvocine algae are facultatively sexual [13]; thus, in addition to being a model system for the study of multicellularity and differentiation, they can also provide insight into another major transition: the evolution of male and female sexes via gametic differentiation. The definition and el...
