Example Sentences:
(1) Homogamous assortative mating is examined in the context of intergenerational processes and the migration experience in two generations of Puerto Rican families in New York City: mothers and fathers in a parent generation (100 pairs) and their married child and the child's spouse in the child generation (100 pairs).
(2) In a multiple-choice mating between two genotypic strains differing in their level of sexual vigor, there is a sequence from heterogamic to homogamic mating.
(3) In D. parabipectinata, the deviation from randomness was statistically significant due to higher number of homogamic matings in three crosses involving wild strains derived from geographically distant places and isolation estimate remained low in these crosses.
(4) Homogamous and endogamous trends are examined by age, sex, and religion.
(5) Previous tests for mating activity of Drosophila persimilis homokaryotype KL (Klamath) and MD (Mendocino) chromosomal arrangements (northern California population: Redwoods) had shown KL to mate faster on the average than MD in homogamic tests.
(6) The findings indicate clear and pervasive intergenerational differences and discontinuities but homogamous marital patterns in each generation.
(7) We have observed directly females of Drosophila paulistorum semispecies in choice experiments with both homogamic and heterogamic males.
(8) Furthermore, it was found that homogamous marriages stay in treatment longer, maintain a lower divorce rate, and respond best to individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
(9) Previous heterogamic copulatory experience did not change the degree of sexual isolation; however, females with homogamic copulatory experience showed a significantly higher preference for homogamic males.
(10) Beta is a measure of the homogamic mating preference of one sex (usually females) of a strain.
(11) A few differences in the developmental cycle of homogamic crosses in the Polish tick population is likely to be the consequence of the adaptation of this population to different living conditions.
(12) In most of the crosses homogamic matings outnumber heterogamic ones, and deviation from randomness is statistically significant in 11 of 20 crosses.
Homogamy
Definition:
(n.) The condition of being homogamous.
Example Sentences:
(1) Multivariate expected correlations for three models of familial resemblance are derived, with particular attention given to the modeling of assortative mating: nuclear families with a phenotypic homogamy model of assortative mating, nuclear families with a social homogamy model of assortative mating, and twins and their parents with phenotypic homogamy.
(2) Consistent with other research, the results point to homogamy as a basic norm in marriage.
(3) Sibling-spouse analyses suggested that assortment for such language use is entirely due to social homogamy rather than active phenotypic assortment.
(4) The authors conclude that familial aggregation of systolic pressure reflects additive genetic variance mediated, in part, by body size and augmented by social homogamy arising from non-random mating.
(5) The proposed path model incorporates both genetic and environmental sources of familial resemblance, maternal environmental effects, intergenerational differences in heritabilities, marital resemblance due to either primary or secondary phenotypic homogamy, and twin residual environmental correlations.
(6) The concept of physiognomic homogamy between parents and children was tested using 39 photo sets consisting of two sets of parents and one child.
(7) In this short note we describe one simple model of resemblance among twins and their parents which can be accommodated in the LISREL specification due to the strong assumption of social homogamy.
(8) Hypotheses based on common marital environment, homogamy or simultaneous accidental death are seen to be of very limited value.
(9) Initially the twins were analyzed independent of each other, and the results showed fairly clear homogamy among female MZ twins and their spouses, after correcting for age.
(10) The sociocultural dislocations resulting from the migration experience from Puerto Rico to New York City do not impede the restitution of marital homogamy in the host society with respect to either general or culture specific variables.
(11) The variables used to examine intergenerational processes and to assess homogamy are age, education, and the degree of acceptance of two Puerto Rican cultural values--familism and fatalism.
(12) There is no social homogamy effect via grandparents.
