Which example best describes the influence of genetic factors?

Question

a. the adult offspring of a pair of deer is shorter than its parents and obtained fewer nutrients when it was younger
b. a corn plant is the same height as another corn plant of a different variety
c. a shrub with good access to sunlight is taller than other shrubs located in shaded areas
d. a horse is the same size as its parents and similar height to other horses of the same breed that it lives with on a farm

Answer 1

The example that best describes the influence of genetic factors is:

d. a horse is the same size as its parents and similar height to other horses of the same breed that it lives with on a farm.

This example illustrates that the horse's size and height are likely influenced by its genetic makeup, which is shared with its parents and other horses of the same breed. In contrast, the other examples involve environmental factors or variations not strictly tied to genetics.
