Write a short explanatory essay on the following statement: “Incases of genetically programmed phenotypic plasticity, naturalselection acts on the norm of reaction. Thus the norm of reactionas a whole—rather than any one phenotype—determines ifselection is positive or negative.”

Imagine that genetic technology advances to the point where the genetic profile of an individual can be easily obtained, and that we have a full understanding of how genes interact to influence our health. Based on this genetic information alone, how reliably do you think we would be able to predict a person's chance of getting a specific disease? Where do you think this type of genetic profiling would lead with respect to selection of offspring or genetic superiority?
