Traits: inherited and environmental

Science · Organisms & Life Processes · conceptual

Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment as well as inheritance

What mastery looks like

  • Explain that traits result from both inheritance and environmental factors
  • Give examples of environmental influence on traits (e.g. sunlight affects plant growth, diet affects animal size)
  • Distinguish between inherited traits (e.g. eye colour) and environmentally influenced traits (e.g. muscle strength from exercise)

Check your understanding

Can Traits: inherited and environmental explain why two identical seeds might grow into different-sized plants if one gets more sunlight than the other?
