Essential Question
Can your genetic code
be influenced by your
environment?
Standard
B.6D – Recognize that gene expression is a regulated process
Temperature & Gene Expression
Water level affects the size of the leaves.
Leaves above water are broad, below the water-level are
finely divided
pH affects color.
Acidic soil produces blue flowers and Alkaline soil produces pink.

In 1917 the biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan conducted studies in which he
kept some caterpillars in the dark and placed other under red, green, or
blue lights. Exposure to red light produced butterflies with brightly
colored wings. Exposure to green light resulted in dark-colored wings.
Exposure to blue light or no light resulted in pale-colored wings. What
was the most likely conclusion of Morgan’s research?
a) The pigment in butterfly wings absorbs light from the environment
b) The phenotypic expression of wing shape depends on color
pigmentation in butterflies.
c) The genes regulating wing color in butterflies are influenced by
environmental factors.
d) Caterpillars exposed to red and green light are healthier than
caterpillars exposed to no light or blue light.
