Organism growth and the environment

Explore how an organism’s traits result from both genetic and environmental factors. Understand that genes provide hereditary information that shapes growth, while environmental conditions—such as temperature, light, food, and water—also influence development. Describe how these factors determine variations in size, appearance, and other traits across individuals and species.
