Question

2 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is an example of the environment affecting phenotype? a child inherits blue eyes from both parents. a plant with genes for tallness grows short due to lack of sunlight a cow inherits both black and white coat color alleles a person inherits sickle cell disease

Explanation:

Phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism. In option B, the plant has the genetic potential (genotype) for tallness but the environmental factor (lack of sunlight) affects its phenotype (it grows short). Options A, C, and D are examples of genetic inheritance determining phenotype without environmental influence.

Answer:

B. A plant with genes for tallness grows short due to lack of sunlight
