Full Description
This examination examines the role of gene-environment interactions in shaping phenotypic outcomes. An important aspect of the assessment is how external factors influence genetic expression and trait manifestation.
Understanding these interactions is fundamental to fields such as ecology, evolutionary biology, and medicine. Insight into how environmental factors affect genetics can inform conservation strategies and health interventions.
Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to discuss specific examples of gene-environment interactions and the mechanisms through which they operate.
Oral discussions may involve case studies that highlight the relevance of these interactions in real-world scenarios, fostering a practical understanding of theoretical concepts.
Sample Questions
- What is phenotypic plasticity and how does it relate to gene-environment interactions?
- Describe how environmental stressors can influence gene expression patterns.
