I do not understand the wording of this queston...
Environmental factors can influence the gene expression in some organisms. Using a specific example, explain how a lighter shade of a color can affect the gene expression in an organism where lighter shading affects the phenotypes of the organism.
What does it mean by lighter shade of a color, and lighter shading?

I am sure that I can answer the question, if only I knew what it was asking me...

Hmm. Well, shades of colors are dependent on the lightwave lengths and which are present or not. What would a very pale green do to plants? I think that is the type of thing it is attempting to get to. @greatmath678
Feel free to post anything you want to have me look over. You might to want to look up about gene methylation. Some pretty cool things there. EG, there is a plant that "turns off" a gene in high temps via methylation. Even crazier, that particular one is heritable.
