model organisms(philosophy of experimental biology)
One of two kinds of entities (along with experimental systems) that recent scholarship has focused on as alternatives to theories for understanding experimental biology practice
norm of reaction(Introduced in the context of Lewontin's critique of heritability measures)
A measure produced for a particular trait by exhaustively manipulating an organism's genotypes and environments, providing information about the relations between genes and environment beyond what a standard analysis of variance can offer
