Question 16 • Biology

Which trait is determined by both genetics and the environment?

Answer
A
eye color
B
athletic ability
C
blood type
D
a scar

Explanation

Athletic ability is influenced by inherited traits, such as muscle composition, and by environmental factors, such as training and nutrition. Eye color and blood type are determined mainly by genetics, while a scar results from an injury or other environmental cause. Therefore, the trait shaped by both genetics and the environment is athletic ability.
