Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phenotype refers to an individual's physical and observable characteristics, which can be influenced by environmental factors such as cold weather. Genotype refers to an individual's genetic makeup, which may not necessarily change due to environmental factors. Alleles are variations of genes that can also be inherited and do not necessarily change due to environmental factors. Sex and rate of genetic mutations are also not likely to be affected by cold weather in a Himalayan rabbit.
