The farm is conducting experiments in genetic combinations for plants.

The table on the right shows the appearance of all possible genetic combinations involving the Cinnamon mutation.

"And here, you have the possibility to make new genetic combinations rather than cloning which simply reproduces existing animals."

It was thought best for children to have as many different genetic combinations as possible, to guard against the accidental loss of important genes.

"We are able to introduce deliberately engineered genetic combinations when we see fit.

Individual mutations amplify the diversity, and many billions of genetic combinations are possible, permitting a unique response to each disease agent.

Along with crossing over, independent assortment increases genetic diversity by producing novel genetic combinations.

You remove that large, external pressure point, and populations can start intermingling weaker genetic combinations that wouldn't normally make it.

Random genetic combination?"

"The ghem-experiment, filtering favorable genetic combinations upward from the general population, surely suffices for that" said the haut Pel.

This genetic combination produced a girl who is half Holden Caulfield, half Emily the Strange.

Though that genetic combination is presumably more common in Africans, it may well exist in people of other races, who would also stand to benefit from the drug.

To improve on Nature, after all, it was necessary to be harsher and more ruthless than Nature, so that only the most promising genetic combinations would survive.

"It allows people to make genetic combinations that are impossible by any other means," said L. Curtis Hannah of the University of Florida.

Since the escape of the Lion Men nearly two centuries before, League scientists had experimented with other genetic combinations, looking for specific humanoid traits that would serve as soldiers.

He was challenged by Baur's claim to be able to work with genes and the genetic combinations of plants exactly like the chemist with his molecules and his formulae.

Meanwhile, as bird flu continues to spread in the wild, evolving along the way, scientists continue to hope the virus does not stumble upon the deadly genetic combination they are trying to understand.

No matter how sophisticated the engineering, the statistical possibility of failure in cell fusion, given all the possible genetic combinations, was virtually limitless; it wouldn't have been surprising if only dead ends had resulted forever.

Most of the breaks come from the other direction - not in studying how genes express themselves, but in anchoring an already-known expression, like an illness or a maybe a behavioral pattern, to a genetic combination.

Expenditure of behavioral energy is theorized to be computed on an investment value system built evolutionarily through natural selection operating on genetic combinations and ontogenetically through behavioral selection operating on neural combinations.

When two "true dwarfs" (both buck and doe) are bred, the genetic pattern which makes them "true dwarfs" (Dwdw) ensures that a percentage of their offspring will inherit the lethal genetic combination DwDw.

Many scientists believe that these changes related to selection for tameness are caused by lower adrenaline production in the new breed, causing physiological changes in very few generations and thus yielding genetic combinations not present in the original species.

But of course it was the impatiens that proposed all those chance mutations and genetic combinations in the first place; what Hope did was create a great many interesting sexual opportunities for the plant, and then select the offspring that would survive and prosper.

With companies under pressure to produce drugs more quickly from the millions of molecules and billions of genetic combinations on hand, scientists have begun to use powerful arrays of computers to eliminate years of laboratory work, an area of research known as bioinformatics.
