Question

that can influence an organisms size and shape. complete the table to describe how an organisms genes and environment affect its traits. | | an organisms set of genes | an organisms environment | | --- | --- | --- | | provides raw materials for growth and development | | | | influences traits | | | | provides instructions for growth and development | | |

Explanation:

• provides raw materials for growth and development: The environment (like food, water, nutrients) provides raw materials. Genes don't provide raw materials directly. So check the "an organism’s environment" column.
• influences traits: Both genes (inherited traits) and environment (like diet affecting height, temperature affecting fur thickness) influence traits. So check both columns.
• provides instructions for growth and development: Genes (DNA) have the genetic code that gives instructions for growth/development. The environment doesn't provide instructions. So check the "an organism’s set of genes" column.

Answer:

	an organism’s set of genes	an organism’s environment
influences traits	✔️	✔️
provides instructions for growth and development	✔️
