The final form that a plant attains will be determined by both its genetic heritage (genotype) and the environment. (An organism's capacity for responding to environmental change within a single genotype is called phenotypic plasticity.) However, one or the other factor can dominate during development of some features. Based on the data, which factor appears to have the most influence on leaf tooth traits in Acer rubrum trees?

Genotype

Explanation:

Given:

The final form that a plant attains will be determined by both its genetic heritage (genotype) and the environment. (An organism's capacity for responding to environmental change within a single genotype is called phenotypic plasticity.) However, one or the other factor can dominate during the development of some features.

Solution:

Genotype influences the leaf tooth traits in Acer rubrum trees.

Genotype indicates the hereditary potentials as well as the limitations of an individual from the stage of embryonic formation to the stage of adulthood.

since there isn't any suggested answers i will give you the reason and hopefully you can figure it

south africa, or rather all of africa, has not been in the location in which it is nowadays throughout the geological past. after the super-continent pangaea started to break apart, gondwanaland, in which was africa, moved further south, and parts of it came to be very close to the south pole. because the climate in this part of the world is very cold due to the very dispersed sun rays in there, what is now south africa, started to freeze, and the conditions were right for the formation of glaciers. the glaciers existed up until the period when gondwanaland started to break apart and what is now africa started to move towards north, sp it warmed up and the glaciers melted.
