For the expression of traits,genes provide only the potentiality and the environment provides the opportunity. Comment on the veracity of the statement.

(N/A) The statement is scientifically accurate.
$1$. Genes (genotype) contain the genetic information or the 'blueprint' for the development of specific traits. This represents the potentiality of an organism.
$2$. However,the actual manifestation of these traits (phenotype) is significantly influenced by environmental factors such as nutrition,climate,stress,and lifestyle.
$3$. This interaction is represented by the formula: $Phenotype = Genotype + Environment$.
$4$. For example,an individual may have the genetic potential for a certain height,but if they suffer from malnutrition during their developmental years,they may not reach that full potential. Thus,the environment acts as the catalyst or opportunity for the expression of genetic potential.
