Environmental Impact on Traits - 3rd Grade Science

The data table presents two wheat fields that received a different amount of water each day. The plant that received the least amount of water was the shortest. Based on this evidence, environmental factors have influenced the height of the plant.

The trait that is being influenced by the environment is the frog's weight. Bullfrog A is a healthy weight because she has plenty to eat. Bullfrog B is thin and small because she does not have plentiful food. If the food source for an animal is scarce, the size, weight, or growth speed of that animal may change. The environment influences the traits of both plants and animals.

The environment influences a plant or animal's traits. Depending on the conditions that the animal or plant lives in, they will make adaptations to survive. In the case of our bullfrogs, there is a difference in size and weight. Bullfrog A has access to a plentiful food source and is large and healthy. Bullfrog B is smaller and thin because she only has access to a few bugs. Due to a difference in the environmental factors, there is a difference in the weight of the frogs.

Environmental factors influence traits in plants and animals. These traits include things like weight, height, size, and color. If a child does not get proper nutrition, their height may be stunted as an adult. Without the right vitamins and nutrients, they may not reach their inherited potential due to environmental influences.

Environmental factors influence traits in plants and animals. These traits include things like weight, height, size, and color. If a dog does not get proper nutrition and exercise, their weight will be negatively impacted. The dog is likely to be overweight if the environmental factors are not changed. Without the right vitamins, nutrients, and exercise, they may not reach their inherited potential due to environmental influences.

The environment influences a plant or animal's traits. Depending on the conditions that the animal or plant lives in, they will make adaptations to survive. These cats are living in very different situations, and this will impact the traits of the cats. Their weight, health, and comfort with people will all be affected by the conditions they live in. Cat A has access to food, clean water, medical care, and daily positive interactions with people, whereas Cat B is scared of people, eats scraps, and drinks dirty water. These different living situations will impact the cats' physical and behavioral traits.

The environment influences a plant or animal's traits. Depending on the conditions that the animal or plant lives in, they will make adaptations to survive. In the case of our cats, there is a difference in their behavior with humans. Cat A has access to humans daily and experiences positive interactions with them. Cat B is terrified of humans and has had limited interactions with them. Due to environmental factors, there is a difference in the behaviors of the cats.

Organisms are born with specific traits inherited from their parents, but the environment can influence them. Farmer McGraw planted his seeds to close together so the roots were restricted and could not grow to their full potential. He is going to have less yield than if he had listened to Farmer Hill because he will not have as many plants grow. The environment the seeds were planted in restricted their ability to grow appropriately.

The data table presents two wheat fields that received a different amount of water each day. The plant that received the least amount of water was the shortest. Based on this evidence, environmental factors have influenced the height of the plant. There is no mention of the plant's weight, growth rate, and the water supply is not a trait of the wheat plant.

Environmental factors are outside factors, something outside of, in this case, the dog's control that affects his life. From the information given, the dogs in the same litter are about 35 pounds, so Matt's dog should be too. The factors of Matt feeding him too much, not taking him on long walks, and giving him treats all the time has led to his weight increasing.

Matt and the dog's environment have had an impact on the dog's weight. This trait is predetermined by genes and then effected by choices like diet and exercise. When Matt overfed the dog, gave it too many treats, and did not take it out for long walks, the dog gained weight. He has impacted this inherited trait with environmental changes.

Environmental impacts are changes made to the environment that can be a good or bad thing. A negative environmental effect could be the cutting down of trees in a forest; a positive could be adding bat houses to areas with large bat populations. Animals inherit traits from their parents, but those traits can be affected by environmental impacts.

Plants inherit traits from their parents, including their stem color, leaf shape, flower color, and height. If the environmental factors impact those traits, that means they are causing changes. In this case, the difference is a negative one. The plants need sunlight to grow tall and healthy, but the large shrubs and trees are blocking that light. This change plant's environment has caused the traits of the plant to be different. It is no wilting and brown rather than tall and green.

Plants inherit traits from their parents, including their stem color, shape, leaf texture, flower color, and stem shape. Due to the shade from the tall shrubs and trees, the plants are no longer straight, green plants like their parents but instead brown and wilting. The environmental impact on the plant's traits has caused it to change, and its appearance has been altered.

Environmental factors can have an impact on the traits of plants and animals. In the case of this farmer's wheat plants, the more water the field received, the taller the plant is. The data table provides evidence to support this claim and the impact that water has on the traits of a plant.

Environmental factors are outside factors, something outside of, in this case, the plant's control that affects its life. Sawney has a windowless bedroom, so she decided to shine a light on the plant. Plants must have natural sunlight to create their food through photosynthesis. If Sawney did not provide the plant with natural sunlight, this is what the plant is being affected negatively and is now dying.

In this passage, the sunflower plant is being negatively impacted by the environmental factors out of its control. Sawney has placed the plant in a windowless bedroom and replaced sunlight with a lamp. The excerpt, "...the leaves were shriveled and turning black, the petals were drying up and falling off." demonstrates that there is a negative impact on the plant.

Matt and the dog's environment have had an impact on the dog's weight. This trait is predetermined by genes and then effected by choices like diet and exercise. When Matt overfed the dog, gave it too many treats, and did not take it out for long walks, the dog gained weight. He has impacted this inherited trait with environmental changes. If Matt wants to reverse these changes, he will need to change the environment the dog is living in. Matt can give the dog fewer treats, put the dog on a diet, and he can take the dog on long walks. All of these new factors in the dog's life may reverse the weight gain.

Plants inherit traits from their parents, including their stem color, leaf shape, flower color, and height. If the environmental factors impact those traits, that means they are causing changes. In this case, the difference is a negative one. The plants need sunlight to grow tall and healthy, but the large shrubs and trees are blocking that light. If Sasha trims the tall shrubs, it may allow more light to filter down to the small plants. If the small plants receive more sunlight, they may begin to regrow leaves and become stronger and healthier.
