The Figure Below Shows the Number of Leaves Produced by Persicaria

question 2

Essay

The figure below shows the number of leaves produced by Persicaria maculosa genotypes at differing light intensities. Each shade of gray indicates the norm of reaction for a different genotype. Imagine that natural selection always favors plants with the most leaves. If these plants grow in environments that vary in light intensity, why is it difficult to predict which genotype will be favored by selection?
