This means it has made at least one "donation" to its
gene pool. And since genetic diversity equates to numbers, and lion cubs outnumber their father, it is also very important to avoid at all costs a known pride male with dependent cubs less than a year and a half old which could be killed by his successor.
We have studied the relation between East Eurasian and West Eurasian lines in the
gene pool of the Kazakhs using the data on polymorphism HVSI of mtDNA (frequencies of haplogroups).
It showed that a relatively small immigrant Anglo-Saxon population, made up of invaders from Germany, Holland and Denmark, could have changed the face of British
gene pool simply by using their economic advantage during apartheid to outbreed the Brits, according to research by the UCL Department of Biology.
But love it or hate it, Fuksas has guts from the same
gene pool as Will Alsop.
was worried that the American
gene pool was declining.
From what's know about hybridization between world crops and wild relatives to issues of rare species preservation and
gene pool vitality, Dangerous Liaisons provides some intriguing insights into what happens when cultivated plants mingle with wild ones.
Little information is available regarding the relationship of Caribbean bean landraces with the Andean and Mesoamerican
gene pools of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) While small-seeded Mesoamerican black beans are prevalent in parts of the Caribbean, many of the regionally preferred red mottled and medium-to-large-seeded bean landraces found there are postulated to belong to the Andean
gene pool.
"We struggled so hard in the beginning, I made a commitment to everyone who struggled along with me that any promotions within the company would go to the people who built it and not to someone from a lucky
gene pool."
Other researchers are studying how the genes for left-handedness or longevity have moved through the Utah
gene pool over time.
"William Merwin's collection of Pritchardias is an extraordinary
gene pool representing these endangered species," Chapin says.
