Which term means the tendency of heredity to narrow the range of development to only one or a few outcomes?

A) range of reaction
B) epigenesis
C) canalization
D) passive correlation

Canalization

The tendency for a trait that is biologically programmed to be restricted to only a few outcomes.

Range of Reaction

A theory suggesting that genetic potential sets certain limits on the expression of traits, but the environment determines where within those limits an individual will fall.

Epigenesis

The process through which the genotype interacts with the environment to guide development, affecting gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.
