Question

A goldfish can grow in proportion to the size of its tank. If you keep a goldfish in a small tank, it will remain relatively small over the duration of its life, but

moving the goldfish to larger bowl sizes can result in a larger sized goldfish. This is an example of a (?)
growth factor.

A. genetic

B. Environmental

Answer 1

The given scenario is an example of environmental growth factor because the size and growth rate of the goldfish are determined by the external environment, specifically the size of the tank it is kept in. While genetics can play a role in determining the overall size and growth rate of the goldfish, in this case, the size of the tank has a much greater impact on the goldfish's growth.
