Write a short explanatory essay on the following statement: “Incases of genetically programmed phenotypic plasticity, naturalselection acts on the norm of reaction. Thus the norm of reactionas a whole—rather than any one phenotype—determines ifselection is positive or negative.”

Briefly examine the evidence suggesting that a single gene mutation is directly related to abnormal behavior in one family.
We will examine some human phenotypes that are controlled by a single gene. For each characteristic, you will determine your phenotype, possible genotype(s), and the frequency of your phenotype in the class. Tongue-rolling: a single gene with two alleles, R and r, determines a person’s ability to roll their tongue into a U shape. A person that cannot roll their tongue is homozygous recessive (rr). What is your phenotype? _____ What is your genotype(s)? _____ What is the frequency of your phenotype? (show your work) _________ Widow’s peak: a single gene with two alleles, W and w. The dominant allele (W) results in a hairline that forms a distinct point in the center of the forehead. What is your phenotype? _____ What is your genotype(s)? ____ What is the frequency of your phenotype? (show your work)
