What is one example of a phenotypic change that is not genetic?

There is an increase in the number of dark moths in a population.

Humans are larger than they were 100 years ago.

Artificial selection is used to produce birds with purple feathers.

Changes occurred in the body shape of invertebrates over time.

I think an example would be, Humans are larger than they were 100 years ago. This is not a genetic characteristic .Phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior and products of behavior. The Genotype on the other hand is the genetic make up of an organism.
