Sometimes the phenotype of an organism can be effected by the environment.
For example, twins are genetically identical, but if one grew up in scotland, they would probably have a scottish accent, whilst if the other lived in England, they would probably speak English. So the environmental change here would be accent.
Some animals fur colour is affected by temperature, such as the Himalayan rabbit. The colder parts below 25 degrees C (ears, feet and tail) have black fur, whilst the rest is mainly white in the warmer areas.
Plant growth can be effected by the mineral concentration in the soil, like nitrates and phosphates.
