Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices may contribute to a particular characteristic of an individual. A particular gene or pair of genes may determine a specific trait, but the arrangement of molecules on those genes can influence how strongly or weakly the trait is expressed. Additionally, multiple genes may interact with each other to determine a trait, and environmental influences (such as nutrition or exposure to toxins) can affect the expression of genes.
