Can environmental factors affect the coding of genes?

No, they cannot directly affect a change to genes. If there is a mutation in the genes (a change) and this is seen as beneficial to the individual in an environment and allows them to reproduce then it will be possibly passed on. Those with a beneficial gene for a change in environment will continue to produce offspring an survive and so the frequency of the allele (the gene) will increase and so the trait becomes more common

)What type of questions cannot be solved by scientific methods?

lana [24]

Hi!

Questions that we cannot answer with science are going to be ones which are subjective, or, opinion related.

For example, could we follow the scientific method in order to successfully see that Mandy's favourite colour is 'blue' and her grandma's favourite food is 'pizza'?

Well... I... I guess, but... It doesn't make sense! These have nothing to do with science, as they are all just opinionated!

Hopefully, you get the picture. =)
