If VG×E > 0,
A) there is genetic variation for phenotypic plasticity.
B) phenotypic plasticity is at least partially heritable.
C) genotypes would need to be grown in different environments to achieve a true estimate of narrow sense heritability.
D) all of the above
E) none of the above
Phenotypic Plasticity
The ability of an organism to change its phenotype in response to changes in the environment.
Genetic Variation
The diversity of gene frequencies within a population, which drives evolution by enabling adaptation to changing environments.
Heritability
The proportion of observed variation in a particular trait, within a population, that can be attributed to inherited genetic factors as opposed to environmental influences.
