Phenotypic Plasticity

Phenotypic Plasticity Defined

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes (observable traits) when exposed to different environmental conditions.

Key Points

- It's an organism's capacity to change its characteristics (morphology, physiology, behavior, etc.) without a change in its underlying genetic code.
- A common example is the difference in leaf shape on the same plant depending on whether the leaves grow underwater or in the air.
