Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression of any genotype is influenced by the environment. This means that although genes provide a blueprint for an individual's traits, the environment can impact which genes are expressed and to what extent. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that an individual's phenotype is solely determined by their genes (choice B) or solely determined by the environment (choice A). Choice D is partly true, but it is important to note that genes do not completely determine an individual's phenotype.
