11. They also show relevant phenotypic ( anatomic ) variations which require explanation. 12. Unfortunately, the epigenetic mechanisms underlying these phenotypic changes are rarely investigated. 13. Most phenotypic characteristics are the result of the interaction of multiple genes. 14. This last stage is characterized by major phenotypic changes in the cell. 15. Thus, hunting is an honest and costly signal of phenotypic quality. 16. Thus, EMT entails profound morphological and phenotypic changes to a cell. 17. Inbreeding may lead to decreased disease immunity and phenotypic abnormalities. 18. Phenotypic plasticity can also be observed as changes in behaviour.19. Association studies are used to determine the genetic influence on phenotypic presentation. 20. This is due to the large heterogeneity between patients regarding phenotypic expression.
