Answer:
The phenotype is the result of the interaction between the genes (i.e., genotype) and environmental factors.
Explanation:
Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal expression of genes involved in the cell cycle, mitosis, DNA replication, etc. Moreover, the abnormal gene expression may be associated with environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, etc.
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Option A is incorrect as mutations may be detrimental to the organism and are not always beneficial. Option B is incorrect as there are instances where mutations may enable organisms to be better adapted to the environment. Option D is incorrect as genotypes are not selected for or selected against by environmental pressures, it is only the phenotype (exhibitable/ visible traits) that can be selected for or against, hence option C is the answer.
