The lack of access to the healthy food has caused the growth of Sebastian to slow down. In the case healthy food is provided to him, he can grow into the size he was genetically suited to. This process is known as the canalization. Canalization term is used as the measure of the ability of any given genotype to result in the same phenotype in-spite of the environmental variability.

Answer:

Canalization

Explanation:

Channeling is a genetic term that refers to an individual's ability to express a phenotypic trait predetermined by the genotype, despite environmental influences and external resources. An example of plumbing can be seen in the question above, where Sebastian has no access to quality food. This will influence him to have a lower height than that determined in his genotype.
