BIO 282 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Phenotype
Document Summary
M. lewisii"s had higher fitness at higher elevations, but with slight fluctuations: from these results, one can conclude that temperature limits the altitudinal range of monkey flowers. True or false: there are a lot of factors that can affect the altitudinal range of monkey flowers. True or false: plasticity involves a change in an allele frequency triggered by a change in the environment. True or false: plasticity does not have to do with allele frequency (this is a change over generation), plasticity involves a change in the phenotype triggered by a change in the environment. Acclimation is a change in niche: ex: performance to cold temperature and warm temperature, make different proteins at different times of the year. Scientist moved a fish adapted to -2c and tried to acclimate it to 4c. The fish at ctmax will show stress and will not be able to function at that temperature. You cannot raise it too slow or too quick.
