Expressivity is a term used in genetics that refers to variations of a phenotype in individuals carrying a particular genotype. The term can be used to qualitatively or quantitatively characterize the extent of the phenotype variation given a particular genotype. The term is equivalent to the severity of a condition in clinical medicine. For example, the amount of blood ejected from the pumping heart with each contraction can be quantitated by echocardiography and is called the ejection fraction. If a specific genotype is associated with the development of congestive heart failure, the expressivity would be represented by the range of ejection fractions seen in patients that have that genotype. As a more qualitative example, the "blue" gene might have an expressivity of 25% for individuals that express the "blue" gene and appear light blue, and 75% for individuals that express the "blue" gene and appear dark blue. This differs from penetrance, which refers to the likelihood of the gene generating any phenotype at all, while expressivity refers to the influence of an expressed gene in individuals. Variable expressivity occurs when a phenotype is expressed to a different degree among individuals with the same genotype. For example, individuals with the same allele for gene involved in a quantitative trait like body height might have large variance some are taller than others, making prediction of the phenotype from a particular genotype alone difficult. The expression of a phenotype may be modified by the effects of aging, other genetic loci or environmental factors. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How is the character Montressor in The Cask of Amontillado expressive of the theme? Q. What are three ways in which Montressor is expressive of the theme in the Cask of Amontillado? Asked by Duups - Tue Dec 9 20:26:29 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. From Shmoop Liit/Cask of Amontillado/Montresor Part of his power as a villain is in his omission of the details of Fortunato s alleged insult against him and of the thousand injuries that came before the insult. We want to believe that nothing Fortunato did could possibly warrant Montresor s treatment of him, but, without any other information, a shadow of a doubt remains: maybe Fortunato deserved it. What if Fortunato killed Montresor s family or something? Would that make a difference?

Q. I have some questions on the differences has Expressive language disorder falls under DSM 315.31 and Dysgraphia falls under DSM 315.2. Asked by Nick C - Sat Dec 16 20:15:58 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. You probably mean agraphia. agraphia or dysgraphia (a- and dys- root means without/unable) means you have difficulty writing. that does not necessarily mean the same as expressive language disorder which is more aprosidia (inability to express oneself via facial expression/gesture or understand others prose). i learned all this in psych although the whole broadman's areas and its associations i dont' remember all that much i am sure that expressive side comes from the right side of the hemisphere and writing has to do with the lexicon BA 39 i believe (neuroscience) and getting it to the area for motor to write down the things you want to express. i hope this helps! good luck Answered by kowalley - Sat Dec 16 20:21:12 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "expressive"  news.google.com Gravenhurst Banner A program that applies expressive arts to help youth in emotional crisis has become an important tool for youth and their families, thanks to the work of ... news.google.com AutoSpies.com As you can see from the photos the 2011 Sienna was reinvented in order to handle these needs as it shifts to a more expressive and dynamic vehicle with a ... 2009 los angeles auto show Automotive News LA Auto Show reveals the new Toyota Siena Examiner.com Toyota unveils Indiana-made minivan Henderson Gleaner all 163 news articles » news.google.com SBWire (press release) Amiable behavioral style is also people-oriented, but at a much slower pace than the Expressive style.
