Phenotypic Plasticity
|
|
large strengthened vein on the midline of a leaf
|
|
|
plants develop adaptive phenotypic characteristics due to changes in theenvironment
|
|
|
thin layer of delicate tissue separating the xylem and phloem which inducessecondary growth
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Local adaptation involves genetic differentiation specific to each environment, whereas phenotypic plasticity allows single genotypes to express different phenotypes under diverse environmental conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Environmental changes can affect phenotypic expression at different stages of the life cycle, so that the effects of global change can be mediated not only by current cues, but also by transgenerational, early-life and carry-over effects (figure 1).
