1 Interaction of Heredity and Environment
-The environment interacts with genes in the development and expression of inherited traits.

2 Identical Twin Studies
Studies show that identical twins may show differences in their phenotype (appearance) as they mature. These changes have been shown to be dependent upon the environment.

3 Effect of Temperature The Himilayan rabbit- normally has white hair with black only on the extremities in their normal arctic environment. In a warm climate, all of their hair develops white. Ice experiment:

4 When ice is applied to the area where there is normally white hair, it grows back black.

5 Effect of Light Without light most plants only produce a yellow pigment. In the presence of light the plant will develop chlorophyll, turn green and perform photosynthesis.
