Definition:

(16) So not surprisingly nearly all neo-Darwinians insist that the outcomes – and that includes you – are complete flukes of circumstance.
(17) The unified theory of evolution is an expansion of Darwinian theory that asserts that evolution is driven by entropic accumulation of genetic information that is constrained and organized primarily by the genealogical effects of phylogenetic history and developmental integration, and secondarily by ecological effects, or natural selection in its classical mode.
(18) Analysis of DNA sequences supports the hypothesis that in Plasmodium falciparum, positive Darwinian selection favors diversity in the T-cell epitopes (peptides presented to T cells by host MHC molecules) of the CS protein.
(19) The resulting equations allow a more precise accounting for the effects of Darwinian natural selection in molecular evolution than does the idealized but biologically less accurate assumption that each of the four nucleotides is equally likely to mutate to and be fixed as one of the other three.
(20) Mutations that cause sterility or early embryonic loss are detrimental in the Darwinian sense but have little impact on society.
Evolution
Definition:
(n.) The act of unfolding or unrolling; hence, in the process of growth; development; as, the evolution of a flower from a bud, or an animal from the egg.
(n.) A series of things unrolled or unfolded.
(n.) The formation of an involute by unwrapping a thread from a curve as an evolute.
(n.) The extraction of roots; -- the reverse of involution.
(n.) A prescribed movement of a body of troops, or a vessel or fleet; any movement designed to effect a new arrangement or disposition; a maneuver.
(n.) A general name for the history of the steps by which any living organism has acquired the morphological and physiological characters which distinguish it; a gradual unfolding of successive phases of growth or development.
(n.) That theory of generation which supposes the germ to preexist in the parent, and its parts to be developed, but not actually formed, by the procreative act; -- opposed to epigenesis.
(n.) That series of changes under natural law which involves continuous progress from the homogeneous to the heterogeneous in structure, and from the single and simple to the diverse and manifold in quality or function. The pocess is by some limited to organic beings; by others it is applied to the inorganic and the psychical. It is also applied to explain the existence and growth of institutions, manners, language, civilization, and every product of human activity. The agencies and laws of the process are variously explained by different philosophrs.
Example Sentences:
(1) The process of sequence rearrangement appears to be a significant part of the evolution of the genome and may have a much greater effect on the evolution of the phenotype than sequence alteration by base substitution.
(2) It is argued that this process drove the evolution of present 5' and 3' splice sites from a subset of proto-splice sites and also drove the evolution of a more efficient splicing machinery.
(3) It has been possible to observe the evolution of their lesions.
(4) Gradual evolutionary change by natural selection operates so slowly within established species that it cannot account for the major features of evolution.
(5) The early absolute but transient dependence of these A-MuLV mast cell transformants on a fibroblast feeder suggests a multistep process in their evolution, in which the acquisition of autonomy from factors of mesenchymal cell origin may play an important role.
(6) The evolution and function of multiple forms of a given photosynthetic pigment in vivo are discussed.
(7) Evolution of serological procedures was continuous through this period but without clear evidence of improvement in performance of antibody detection although performance in the UK appears to be comparable with that elsewhere.

Passive cold exposure does not induce a change in HR but increases VO2, VCO2, Ve and core temperature Tre, whereas peripheral temperature is significantly lowered.
