    Question: Genotype x environment interaction (GxE) would take place when there is/are:

    Options:

    One genotype and two environments
    Two genotypes and one environment
    Three genotypes and one environment
    Two or more genotypes and two or more environments

    ✅Explanation:
    Genotype x environment interaction (GxE) refers to the phenomenon where different genotypes respond differently to different environmental conditions. This means that the expression of a trait depends on the interplay between the genetic makeup of an individual (genotype) and the environment in which it develops.

    • Therefore, for GxE to occur, you need:
    ● Multiple genotypes: If you only have one genotype, there's no comparison to see if it responds differently to different environments.
    ● Multiple environments: If you only have one environment, you can't assess how different genotypes might respond differently to varying conditions.

    • Examples:
    ● Plant height: Some plant varieties might grow taller in fertile soil with ample sunlight, while others might perform better in less fertile conditions with partial shade. This demonstrates GxE for plant height.
    ● Disease resistance: Some animal breeds might be highly resistant to a disease in certain climates but more susceptible in others, showcasing GxE for disease resistance.
