Breeding programmes for rare animals: studbooks and frozen zoos, sentence 9
Computer programs find pairs that are least related, so the population keeps many different genes and can cope with disease and change; sometimes the chosen pair do not get along and keepers must try again.
Who acts: Computer programs, pairs, population, chosen pair, keepers · What happens: find, be, keep, cope, choose, not get along · To what, where: pairs, many different genes
This is a sentence of the lesson «Breeding programmes for rare animals: studbooks and frozen zoos» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Computer programs, pairs, population, chosen pair), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
