Biologically-relevant differences in the performance of green peach aphid may have been masked by high variability within lines.
Although at first sight perhaps biologically unattractive, such a hyperbolic response function may result from an intrinsically first order system, when there is heterogeneity.
These are the classic "duped dads," as they have sometimes been dubbed by the media - exact opposites of the uninvolved yet biologically related deadbeat dads.
The biological-design argument proceeds as follows (again in rough outline) : it's incredibly unlikely that biologically complex organisms would exist somewhere or other in our universe.
If strong correlation was found between two variables, they were either merged or the most biologically plausible variable was selected for inclusion in further analyses.
The synthetic haplotype can serve as a baseline haplotype in our logistic regression model since the heterogeneous group is biologically meaningless.
Biologically meaningful: either biologically connotative or biologically significant as defined above and below.
It is a most valuable tool in the biochemical laboratory due to the minimal denaturation or inactivation of biologically active compounds.
