5.5 Environmental Effects on Phenotype - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Explain how environmental conditions can affect gene expression and result in phenotypic variation.
  • Discuss specific cases where environmental factors such as temperature, nutrition, and light influence traits in organisms.
  • Explain how gene-environment interactions contribute to the phenotype, using examples such as human height and skin color.
