Studies of hermaphroditic plants may exhibit sampling bias against self-fertilizing and cross-fertilizing species,
thus inflating the frequency of species using a mixed mating system (both self-fertilizing and cross-fertilizing);
nevertheless the number of mixed-system species is not ____ .
A. Self-evident
B. Static
C. Trivial
D. Relevant
E. Calculable
柯林斯上 relevant 的意思 Something that is relevant to a situation or person is important or significant in that situation or to that person.
前面说有 sample bias 可以推出 inflating 然后是一个 nevertheless 转折
那么空里应该填 sample bias 没那么大的意思,就是 number 不多的意思吧
用柯林斯这个解释就是不够 significant in that situation?
我是这么想的了,主要是其他选项体现不了这个方向的意思吧
句子大意是,对于hp的studies显示出对s-f和c-f species的bias,于是这些studies就将其mix up以inflating其species frequency. 接着后面来了一个nevertheless说明这个mixture对于species frequency没有起到inflating的作用,原因就是其数量不__.
如果选not trivial的话就成了large number of mixed species,但这里的因果关系显然是mixed species determine the inflating of the frequency of species(见thus inflating the frequency of species using a mixed mating system),于是the lacking mixed species就导致了inflating的失败.
relevant在这里是significant的意思. not relevant=not significant=low in numbers. 选D.
