DNA inside cells contains genes that provide instructions for building proteins and determining traits. Genes are segments of DNA that influence characteristics like eye color, height, or leaf shape. The environment includes factors such as temperature, light, food, and chemicals that can alter how genes are expressed. Environmental stimuli like light or temperature can trigger changes in gene activity, causing a different response in the organism. The final trait you see is the result of both the genetic instructions and the environment's influence. Because of this interaction, two organisms with similar genes can show different traits when exposed to different stimuli, leading to different responses.
