Question

Which statement identifies an example of a genetic factor that could influence the growth or development of an organism created by an environmental factor? the lack of available sunlight for a small sapling to grow an increased amount of rain causing flooding in a local river fertilizer creating a mutation among a farmer's crops overcrowding of a local deer population resulting in fewer resources available

Answer 1

fertilizer creating a mutation among a farmer's crops

Step-by-step explanation:

A genetic factor is one that affects the gene or genome of an individual organism. This genetic factor often influences the observable trait called PHENOTYPE of the organism. In this case, an example of a genetic factor that could influence the growth or development of an organism created by an environmental factor is the "fertilizer creating a mutation among a farmer's crops"

The fertilizer represents the environmental/chemical factor which is creating the genetic factor (mutation) that will eventually influence the growth or development of the crops.
