  2. Genetic assimilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_assimilation

    Waddington called the effect he had seen "genetic assimilation". His explanation was that it was caused by a process he called "canalization".He compared embryonic development to a ball rolling down a slope in what he called an epigenetic landscape, where each point on the landscape is a possible state of the organism (involving many variables).

  3. Assimilation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilation_(biology)

    Assimilation is the process of absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other chemicals from food as part of the nutrition of an organism. In humans, this is always done with a chemical breakdown ( enzymes and acids ) and physical breakdown (oral mastication and stomach churning).

  4. Baldwin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_effect

    The Baldwin effect has been confused with, and sometimes conflated with, a different evolutionary theory also based on phenotypic plasticity, C. H. Waddington's genetic assimilation. The Baldwin effect includes genetic accommodation, of which one type is genetic assimilation. [28]

  5. Canalisation (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canalisation_(genetics)

    Through this process of genetic assimilation, an environmentally induced phenotype had become inherited. Waddington explained this as the formation of a new canal in the epigenetic landscape. It is, however, possible to explain genetic assimilation using only quantitative genetics and a threshold model, with no reference to the concept of ...

  6. Biological carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_carbon_fixation

    Biological carbon fixation, or сarbon assimilation, is the process by which living organisms convert inorganic carbon (particularly carbon dioxide) to organic compounds. These organic compounds are then used to store energy and as structures for other biomolecules .

    Moose's mom posted a video that's only about 12 seconds long, but it's really funny to watch. Moose found a wheelbarrow full of water out in his backyard and decided to hop on in and enjoy it.

  8. Sulfur assimilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_assimilation

    Sulfur assimilation is the process by which living organisms incorporate sulfur into their biological molecules. [1] In plants, sulfate is absorbed by the roots and then transported to the chloroplasts by the transipration stream where the sulfur are reduced to sulfide with the help of a series of enzymatic reactions .
