Environmental factors are more likely to affect phenotype than genotype.

Phenotype refers to the observable physical characteristics of an organism, a product of the genetic information contained in the genotype, in accordance with the conditions of the determined environment in which the organism lives.

The phenotype supposes the manifestation of the genotype based on the environmental factors, the traits expressed by the phenotype are behavioral and physical.

Regardless of the genotypic information manifested, environmental factors will also shape the phenotype of an organism, since it can suffer accidents, changes or adaptations that a genetically similar individual but in another environment would not suffer.

Therefore, we can conclude that the phenotype is the variable expression of a genotype in accordance with the environmental factors.

Answer:

Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.

Explanation:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.
