Introduction: Metabolic blocks are said to occur when a metabolic process is hindered due to some reason. It is mainly caused due to some enzyme defect. These enzymatic defects can be due to improper functioning or due to deficiency of the enzymes that are involved in the metabolic pathway. Metabolic blocks can display wide range of phenotypic effects on the organism.

The graph shows the log snout-vent length (SVL, a measure of overall body size) plotted against the percent survival of these different size classes for males and females. Survival (%) 100- 80- 60- 40- 20- 0+ 1.9 T 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Log SVL (mm) 19) Examine the figure above.
