Explanation of Solution

The tropical lizard has a behavioral system that helps it to manage a fairly uniform temperature of the body. The lizard basks in the open sun where there are patches of sunlight and then goes back to shade when the body becomes too hot. In shaded areas where there is low availability of sun the lizards adapt and becomes conformer, and subsequently adjust their body temperature to that of the surrounding.

The slope of the lizards in shaded areas indicate the constant increase in body temperature with respect to the surrounding whereas the slope of the tropical lizard in open habitat shows a uniform range of temperature maintained by the organisms irrespective of the change in air temperature.

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
