| One of the earliest hypothesized and widely known cases of a coadapted gene complex in plants is that of heterostyly. |
| The visual system and coloration are coadapted to provide an efficient signal mechanism. |
| In the case of coadapted cellular machinery as diverse as the transcriptosome, this parallel evolution may involve sequences with no other obvious connection. |
| Inbreeding may be beneficial if conditions favor the maintenance of locally adapted or intrinsically coadapted gene complexes. |
| Elements within a given regulatory module are expected to be coadapted. |
| For example, all of the maternal genes whose sequences have coadapted to each other might be expressed and the paternal copies silenced. |
