Anya · Answer 2

D. The genotype and the environment both affect phenotype.

Explanation:

Phenotype is the outward expression or make up of an organism. The phenotype is simple the physical outlook of an organism. It is as a result of the combination of two major factors which are the genetic make up (genotype) and the environment. When both combines, an organism's pheontype is built and produced.

If the environment is lacking, a gene might not successfully express itself in an organism. Also, an organism might have the right environment but the gene is lacking.
