Answer:

Myopia is a phenotype that results from interactions between genetic factors and the environment

Explanation:

A quantitative trait is a polygenic trait that depends on the cumulative effects of many genes and the environment. Some examples of quantitative traits include weight and height. Myopia is a quantitative trait whose phenotype depends on the combined action of different genes and the environment. It has been shown that genetics plays a central role in this trait (myopia), it is for that reason that myopic parents are more likely to have myopic children. However, there also are environmental factors (e.g., diet) which increase the risk to suffer myopia.
