Recent research investigating variation in human height has found that a variety of genes at different loci, as well as early nutrition, influence height, especially the nutrition of a mother during gestation (the period of time during development of a fetus) and of a child during childhood years,. Given this information, which of the following is correct? (3 points)
For human height, the environment is more influential than inheritance of particular alleles.
One phenotypic trait is usually related to one gene.
Phenotypes are directly linked to genotypes and not influenced externally.
Phenotypes are usually the result of a combination of genes and influence of the environment. I think is D

In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein.

During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA. The RNA can be directly functional or be the intermediate template for a protein that performs a function. The transmission of genes to an organism's offspring is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic traits. These genes make up different DNA sequences called genotypes. Genotypes along with environmental and developmental factors determine what the phenotypes will be. Most biological traits are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as gene–environment interactions. Some genetic traits are instantly visible, such as eye color or the number of limbs, and some are not, such as blood type, the risk for specific diseases, or the thousands of basic biochemical processes that constitute life.

Genes can acquire mutations in their sequence, leading to different variants, known as alleles, in the population. These alleles encode slightly different versions of a protein, which cause different phenotypical traits. Usage of the term "having a gene" (e.g., "good genes," "hair color gene") typically refers to containing a different allele of the same, shared gene.Genes evolve due to natural selection / survival of the fittest and genetic drift of the alleles.
