Question

The modes of natural selection differ based on how selection acts on the _____ of a population.

a	color
b	environment
c	genotypes
d	phenotypes

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.
