What causes a wide range of phenotypes for some traits?
Some traits, such as eye color and hair color, have multiple alleles that control different aspects of the phenotype. Because there are multiple different possible combinations of alleles, you get a wide range of phenotypes.
How did Hera throw Hephaestus off mount Olympus?
In some legends it wasn't Hera- it was Zeus. However the story goes that when Hera gave birth Zeus was so angry that the son by his actual wife was so deformed and ugly that he took the baby, in his anger and hurled him down Mount Olympus. How did Hera( or Zeus) through him off? She/ he lifted him up and chucked him. I am guessing that you are talking about when Hephaestus was a baby. Unless you are talking about when he was older and still ugly anf was sent down off Mount Olympus to his forge. In this case Hera was the goddess of Marriage, the goddess of unions in a way. This meant she had special powers in the way that she could manipulate others' feelings. So she manipulated Hephaestus' feelings (and Zeus') and Hephaestus was left in his forge. Hephaestus probably wasn't against this. He prefered to interact with metal rather than people and so he was perfectly happy to be left alone with his creations. I hope this was what you were looking for!
