Full Description
This exam critically evaluates the interaction between genetic makeup and environmental factors leading to phenotypic variation in organisms. Students will explore how external conditions shape genetic expression.
Understanding this interaction has profound implications for ecological studies, particularly in areas such as climate change biology and habitat fragmentation, where environmental stressors may influence population sustainability.
The assessment will require students to articulate the principles of genotype-environment interactions and evaluate case studies demonstrating these concepts in various ecosystems.
Discussions may also include strategies for predicting how organisms will respond to future environmental changes based on genetic information.
Sample Questions
- In what ways do environmental factors influence phenotypic expression in populations?
- Can you provide examples of adaptive traits shaped by environmental pressures?
