Question
What conclusion can you draw from Figure 24.18 about the proportion of phenotypic variation in shell breadth that is due to genetic differences? Explain your reasoning.

What can you conclude about whether an allele is dominant or recessive and phenotype frequency? Use course-wide data to justify your response.
Drawing a Conclusion What would you conclude about the evolutionary process that produces two unrelated species that share similar niches on different continents?
Figure 3.21 and Fig. 3.28 both show traits that are determined by two genes, each of which has two incompletely dominant alleles. But in Fig. 3.21 the gene interaction produces nine different phenotypes, while the situation depicted in Fig. 3.28 b shows only five possible phenotypic classes. How can you explain this difference in the amount of phenotypic variation?
