How can you use “evolutionarily” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
First, it represents an evolutionarily conserved pathway that probably has important functions in the regulation of gene expression and the control of transposable elements.
Devlin and Emmerich's Godzilla is accused of being annoyingly Spielbergian and lacking personality as well as wits: "Any forefather (and, given his reproductive capacities, foremother) of a new species that chooses to travel halfway around the globe to lay his eggs in the middle of Manhattan doesn't seem built to survive, evolutionarily speaking" (David Edelstein, Slate ). The film's failure (it's doing relatively poorly at the box office) may also be due to overexposure to disaster movies.
These observations suggest that this region indeed defines a novel evolutionarily mobile domain of approximately 80 residues (Figure 3).
However, we observed that the most carboxy-terminal part of the cytoplasmic region forms a distinct folding unit in the form of a six-stranded β-barrel that could define a novel evolutionarily conserved domain (Figure 1).
This approach had been pioneered in the classical work of Dobzhansky and Sturtevant who used inversions in Drosophila chromosomes to construct an evolutionary tree [ 12 ] . Subsequently, mathematical methods have been developed to calculate rearrangement distances between genomes, and, using these, phylogenetic trees have been built for certain small genomes, such as plant mitochondria and herpesviruses [ 13 14 ] . These approaches, however, are applicable only to genomes that show significant conservation of global gene order, which is manifestly not the case among prokaryotes [ 15 16 17 ] . Even relatively close species such as, for example, Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae, two species of the γ-subdivision of Proteobacteria, retain very little conservation of gene order beyond the operon level (typically, two-to-four genes in a row), and essentially none is detectable among evolutionarily distant bacteria and archaea [ 15 16 18 ] . Very few operons, primarily those coding for physically interacting subunits of multiprotein complexes such as certain ribosomal proteins or RNA-polymerase subunits, are conserved across a wide range of prokaryotic lineages [ 15 16 ] . On the other hand, pairwise comparisons of even distantly related prokaryotic genomes reveal considerable number of shared (predicted) operons, which creates an opportunity for a meaningful comparative analysis [ 19 ] [ 20 21 ] .
