Why do traits with a higher heritability tend to evolve faster? Unlike monogenic traits, quantitative traits can make new phenotypes that weren't seen before in a population. How is this possible without mutation? Why don't rabbits evolve wings to help escape from predators? Use the term "uphill" in your answer Phenotypic plasticity seems like a very beneficial quality to have, so why aren't all traits plastic? Give an example of an environment that promotes a dynamic adaptive landscape
