Effects of

Genes in our
Environment
•GENES ARE INHERITED – modified
by interactions with the
environment.

•GENETIC TRAITS – are determined

largely through the precise
information found in the cell’s gene
structure.
EXAMPLE
•Although most
plants have the
genetic ability to
produce
chlorophyll, they
will do this only
in the presence
of light. Without
Light, these
plants produce
only a light-
yellow pigment.
•Therefore appear pale
and sickly until they are
exposed to sunlight.

• But after a few days of

exposure to sunlight, the
chlorophyll production
mechanism is enabled and
green color returns.
