Effect of Environment on Phenotype

Aim: To investigate the effect of one environmental factor on the phenotype of pea plants Background Information: Pea seeds are available with identical genetic information for height - tall or dwarf peas. These seeds can be used to demonstrate the effect of the environment on the final height of the pea plants. Tall or dwarf peas can be grown in identical conditions where all variables are kept constant apart from one environmental factor. Any differences …
