Question

At warm temperatures, a certain bread mold can often be seen growing on bread as a dark-colored mass. At cooler temperatures, the same bread mold can often be seen growing as a red mass. Both bread molds have the same genotype. What explains this phenomenon

Answer 1

Answer: The phenomenon explains that gene expression can be influenced by the environment.

Explanation: In gene,certain factors play a crucial role in influencing and determine organisms structure, development and functions.

Internal and external environmental factors, like gender and temperature play a role in influencing gene expression. Similarly, drugs, chemicals, temperature, and light are among the external environmental factors that can determine which genes are turned on and off, thereby influencing the way an organism develops and functions.

So from the question given,warm temperature as a factor was able to change the color of the mass of the growing bread mold.
