The cupule, a secondary female trait of teosinte and maize, as evidence that the maize ear is derived from the teosinte ear
The cupule is a secondary sex trait of the female spike in both teosinte and the oldest known archaeological maize as well as in most stocks of modern maize.
The common presence of the cupule in the female rachis of both teosinte and maize is evidence that the maize ear is derived from the teosinte ear, not the tassel.

 Breeding for drought tolerance - Maize production under drought environment (Part 2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Many other secondary traits for drought tolerance were evaluated at CIMMYT but proved to be of low heritability, among them: leaf and stem elongation rate, canopy temperature, leaf photo-oxidation, leaf chlorophyll concentration, predawn leaf water potential, and seedling survival under drought.
Breeder assigns weights to these traits, based on their variance, their correlation with other traits, the significance of the genotype term in their ANOVA (or their heritability), and their relative importance in contribution to drought tolerance.
Traits that are genetically variable and that are known to be relatively more important for assessing drought or low N tolerance are weighted more strongly.

 Language in Literature - English Essay
It would be wrong to consider Sarah as a secondary character because the categorisation of the two types of characters must be justified on the base of the effective kind of link between the character and setting, and not on the base of what the stream of the story implies.
The secondary characters are part of the static background, but that does not mean that they have less importance, from the point of view of the organisation of the narrative material.
The trait analysis, to conclude, involves different narrative features of a literary text and it is able to link them and to find connections among them to investigate in a detailed way the organisation of the literary material.

The functionally autonomous traits that will be discussed later were derived from the Freudian system of instinct theory and the theorizing of William James and his idea of the transitoriness of instincts (Allport, 1937).
The terms trait and habit may seem to be initially synonymous, but an important distinction and relationship exist between the two.
His description of the circular reflex describes the human tendency to repeat an action as long as it produces a pleasurable outcome (this term is often used to describe the babbling of an infant).

The trait litter size is normal distributed when observing the trait in the sows.
But the curve for the trait born in litter size is skew to the right, as more piglets are born in large litters than in small ones.

I would say the robust plant habit was expression of CS, and this trait was more expressed when CS was the pollen parent.
For that is the only way to determine which plants pass along the traits we would like to develop in our seedlings.
But the ability of capitalizing (maximizing) on the appearance and the existence of traits (important to you) will be MOST successful if you track EACH cross, study the results, and continue hybridizing by integrating that knowledge along the way.

These methods included two multidimensional item response theory models: a bi-factor model where each subtest was a composite score based on the primary trait measured by the set of tests and a secondary trait measured by the individual subtest, and a model where the traits measured by the subtests were separate but correlated.
The secondary traits may reflect different content categories in the test blueprint, or different tests within a battery of tests.
In other words, a secondary factor is the common factor a group of items shares beyond their shared association with the primary factor.

In order to test if immune function is expressed in secondary sexual traits and how it is traded off against reproductive effort a series of experiments were performed, in which birds were challenged with an antigen, via a vaccine containing neutralised paramyxovirus.
I also show that immune response is costly and, second, that pathogen resistance probably plays an important role in the shaping of secondary sexual traits and life-history decisions.

 Correlated Characters
Estimation of genetic correlations is done by analysis of covariance, where the values of one relative for one trait are correlated with the values of another relative for a different trait.
It is caused by the changes in the breeding value of the selected trait being correlated with changes in the breeding value of the other trait.
This is the case when the heritability for the secondary trait is smaller or when it is easier or cheaper to measure.

Males of monogamous birds often show secondary sexual traits that are conspicuous but considerably less extreme than those of polygynous species.
Results show that conspicuous male traits that decrease survival can evolve but suggest that the extent of maladaptive evolution is greatly limited relative to what is possible in a polygynous mating system for two reasons.
First, in the absence of direct fitness effects of mate choice on the female, the equilibria for the male trait and female preference form a curve whose shape shows that the maximum possible strength of sexual selection on males (and hence the potential for maladaptive evolution) is constrained.
