The answer is E. The two sets of chromosomes are in haploid form (1/2 from mom & 1/2 from dad - 23 & 23). Diploid is a result of mitosis and consists of 23 PAIRS of chromosomes. Environmental factors may, in fact, influence gene expression. Example: If you have genes for brown hair but spend a great amount of time in the sun, you hair will be bleached out by the sun and turn blonde.
