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

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 shows a direct correlation to genetic inheritance, as the horse's size and height are influenced by the genetic traits it inherits from its parents and the breed characteristics common to horses of the same breed.
