Question
**Title: Analyzing Genetic and Environmental Effects on Butterfly Wing Color**

**Text:**

You are examining the genetic and environmental effects on the color of a newly described species of butterfly. Which of the following reaction norms would you expect if genetics were the only determinant of wing color morphology?

**Diagrams:**

Four graphs (a, b, c, d) are shown to illustrate the relationship between genotype and phenotype across different environments:

1. **Graph a:**
   - **Axes:** The x-axis represents the "Environment," and the y-axis represents the "Phenotype."
   - **Lines:** Two lines intersect. "Genotype 1" starts at a low phenotype value and increases, while "Genotype 2" begins at a high phenotype value and decreases.

2. **Graph b:**
   - **Axes:** The x-axis represents the "Environment," and the y-axis represents the "Phenotype."
   - **Lines:** Two parallel, upward-sloping lines. "Genotype 1" is above "Genotype 2," indicating a consistent phenotype difference across environments.

3. **Graph c:**
   - **Axes:** The x-axis represents the "Environment," and the y-axis represents the "Phenotype."
   - **Lines:** Two lines intersect. "Genotype 1" and "Genotype 2" both show an increasing phenotype, crossing over each other.

4. **Graph d:**
   - **Axes:** The x-axis represents the "Environment," and the y-axis represents the "Phenotype."
   - **Lines:** Two parallel horizontal lines. "Genotype 1" is above "Genotype 2," suggesting no change in phenotype across environments.

**Options:**
- a. Answer a.
- b. Answer b.
- c. Answer c.
- d. Answer d.

**Explanation:**

For the condition where genetics is the only determinant of wing color morphology, the expected reaction norm would show constant phenotype across different environments for each genotype. Thus, the correct answer is likely Graph d, where phenotypes do not change regardless of environmental variations.
