Without proper nutrition and the appropriate chemical and hormonal environment, the 30,000 genes in a fetal genome will tend to express themselves as a phenotype

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene expression and the resulting phenotype are influenced by a combination of genetic information, nutrition, and the chemical/hormonal environment, but the statement that genes will "tend to express themselves as a phenotype" without these factors is misleading. Gene expression is a complex process that requires proper cellular conditions, but it does not solely depend on external factors like nutrition and hormones to occur.
