Some mammals have fur color genes that produce pigment only when the outside temperature is above a certain level. This is an example of how the environment of an organism can

• destroy certain genes
• cause new mutations to occur 
• stop the process of evolution
• influence the expression of a gene

A person with blood type AB expresses two markers on the surface of their blood cells. Each marker is coded for by a different allele. 

• Complete dominance
• Multiple Alleles
• Codominance 
• Polygenic Inheritance
