Which of the following descriptions illustrates phenotype variation in an individual caused by the environment?

A) variation in horse coat color

B) average beak depth during drought

C) inheritance of body builder "physique"

D) diet of caterpillars changes their morphology

Explain why the answer is D?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The correct option is D) diet of caterpillars changes their morphology.

Larval diet completely determines the morphology of the caterpillars. Morphology has the binary response variable with helpful variables diet for the development of each caterpillar.
