D) morphological traits

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Life-history traits are traits closely associated with reproduction, such as age at first reproduction or number of offspring produced, and are expected to show less genetic variation due to their importance in fitness. Behavioral traits (such as mating behavior), physiological traits (such as metabolism), and morphological traits (such as body size) may show more genetic variation as they are not as directly tied to reproduction.
