Answer:

They are also phenotypically plastics, or affected by a host of environmental influences as well as genetic ones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phenotypic plasticity refers to the possibility of having more than one phenotype when the organism is exposed to different environments. The genes and the environment work together for example if there is a person genetically predisposed to have a high IQ but who has socioeconomic conditions in which he has not been able to develop his cognitive abilities to the maximum then this will make his IQ not so high.
