概括

鸟类蛋紫外线 (UV) 反射率可能不普遍支持UV电阻或可检测性假设. 然而,在歌唱鸟和鸟中,更高的紫外线反射率与开放的筑巢相关,这表明它在紫外线保护中发挥了作用.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
