The chemical tags that are attached to DNA, known as the epigenome, can potentially be altered by the environment. These tags change the amount of protein that is produced from the genes by making them more or less active.
- Traits are frequently influenced by environmental factors rather than genetics. Although not always. Sometimes a gene's DNA sequence or degree of activity is altered by the environment.
- The proteins that a gene produces can be replaced by either of these effects, which in turn impacts characteristics.
- The nucleotide sequence of a gene may alter as a result of some harmful environmental influences. DNA strands, for instance, can be damaged by UV light.
- Certain pollutants, such as those found in plastic and cigarette smoke, can change how DNA bases behave chemically, allowing one DNA base to stand in for another.

Because predators and prey must learn (or adapt) new ways of survival. Deer over time have learned to be much more sensitive to the surrounding environment, therefore, a deer's predator must also adapt/evolve and learn how to beat the deer at it's own game and catch it for food. Animals must evolve/adapt to any given environment. If humans lived in Antarctica for thousands of years, we would eventually be able to withstand the cold due to evolution. People who live in the Himalayas today actually breath normally at such high altitudes whereas if someone who lives at sea level went to where the Himalayan people lived, the result could potentiality be fatal because the body has not adapted/evolved at that point to withstand minimal oxygen.
