Which of the following best describes phenotypic plasticity?
a) It is a property of “species”, not “individuals”.
b) Is only found in species with complex societies.
c) The expression of phenotype with little input from the environment.
d) A given genotype may result in different phenotypes.
d) A given genotype may result in different phenotypes.
(It should be noted that the phenomemon through which a genotype has the ability of producing one or more phenotypes when exposed to different environmental conditions is known as phenotypic plasticity. Option A refers it as the property of species and is clearly wrong. The same goes for Option B. Only option D matches this description.)
