Examples of environmentally influenced characteristics in humans:Height of a plant: generally encoded for by the DNA, however amount of available water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight can influence this.
Hair color: Encoded for by DNA but can be changed by chemicals or exposure to sunlight.
Skin color: natural color encoded for by DNA but can easily be influenced by exposure to sunlight.
