Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlated characters can occur when some genes affect more than one character. This means that changes in one character can result in changes in another character, leading to a positive or negative correlation between the two. This can make natural selection longer as it may take more time for both characters to evolve independently. Therefore, correlated characters do not change independently and may not always be positively related.
