  2. Long branch attraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_branch_attraction

    For example, two different sources of data (i.e. molecular and morphological) or even different methods or partition schemes might support different placement for the long-branched groups. [6] Hennig's Auxiliary Principle suggests that synapomorphies should be viewed as de facto evidence of grouping unless there is specific contrary evidence ...

  3. Demic diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demic_diffusion

    An example of Demic diffusion: ancient European Neolithic farmers were genetically closest to ancient Near-Eastern/Anatolian populations. Genetic matrilineal distances between European Neolithic Linear Pottery Culture populations (5,500–4,900 calibrated BC) and modern Western Eurasian populations.

  4. Ecological imperialism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_imperialism

    Ecological imperialism is an explanatory concept, introduced by Alfred Crosby, [1] that points out the contribution of European biological species such as animals, plants and pathogens in the success of European colonists.

  5. Ecdysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecdysis

    Endopterygotes have more alternatives to moulting, such as expansion of the cuticle and collapse of air sacs to allow growth of internal organs. The process of moulting in insects begins with the separation of the cuticle from the underlying epidermal cells (apolysis) and ends with the shedding of the old cuticle (ecdysis).

  6. Agricultural expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_expansion

    Agricultural expansion describes the growth of agricultural land (arable land, pastures, etc.) especially in the 20th and 21st centuries.. The agricultural expansion is often explained as a direct consequence of the global increase in food and energy requirements due to continuing population growth (both which in turn have been attributed to agricultural expansion itself [1] [2]), with an ...

  7. Cell growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_growth

    Cell growth refers to an increase in the total mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic, nuclear and organelle volume. [1] Cell growth occurs when the overall rate of cellular biosynthesis (production of biomolecules or anabolism) is greater than the overall rate of cellular degradation (the destruction of biomolecules via the proteasome, lysosome or autophagy, or catabolism).

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  9. Trinucleotide repeat expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinucleotide_repeat_expansion

    Generally, the larger the expansion the more likely they are to cause disease or increase the severity of disease. Other proposed mechanisms for expansion and reduction involve the interaction of RNA and DNA molecules. [3] In addition to occurring during DNA replication, trinucleotide repeat expansion can also occur during DNA repair. [4]
