Answer:

Phenotype caused by an environmental factor that resembles a phenotype normally caused by a genetic factor is known as Phenocopy.

Explanation:

The particular individual or organism manifesting the genetic phenotype induced by the environment is known as the phenocopy.

These organisms do not have a genetic mutation for a particular trait, however the environment can induce changes at the level of epigenetics to cause modifications in the outcome of normal gene expression which would then tend to resemble a genetic condition.

These otherwise genetically normal organisms carry the same phenotype as those caused by the genetic mutation and would physiologically be impossible to tell apart without a genetic examination.
