Question
A highly canalized trait will have a low level of this property. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this property, whose “phenotypic” form is the ability of a given phenotype to vary in different environments. It shares its name with the ability of synapses in the brain to strengthen when stimulated more frequently.
ANSWER: phenotypic plasticity [accept neuroplasticity or synaptic plasticity or brain plasticity]
[10h] These graphs quantify and plot the range of phenotypes that can be produced by a single genotype in a different array of environments.
ANSWER: reaction norm [or a norm of reaction; prompt on norms]
[10m] This quantity is defined as the variance in an organism's genotype divided by its variance in phenotype. It is denoted with a capital H squared to distinguish it from a related quantity that only considers additive genetic variance.
ANSWER: broad-sense heritability [prompt on heritability; reject “narrow-sense heritability”]
