Temperature and thunder
Environmental factors are factors that influence living organisms. This can be a plant, an animal, or a germ. Sunlight, food, water, or pollution are types of environmental factors. They may cause growth, mutations, or death of the organism.
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
Heat and Pressure
Environmental factors cause the greatest change in gene pools. some of these factors are radiation,pollution,food supply,population,predators,and camouflage. Of these factors the most important to today's gene pool is radiation because it causes mutation in the chromosomes and can completely change an organism.
Temperature and thunder
Yes. Chemicals, radiation, and other environmental factors are known mutagens.

Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
While this question should be recategorized because external stimuli do not cause the mutations that result in hemophilia, there are many types of radiation that can cause gene mutations as well as chemical exposure. For example sun light is UV light radiation wich can cause mutations (for example the mutations that result in skin cancer).
In general, there is no direct relationship. In some cases the environment can damage genes and cause mutations. In a few cases, the environmental factors will determine certain traits, for instance alligator gender is affected by the temperature of their egg mounds.
Humans are sometimes born with genetic disorders due to mutations in the DNA or mutations in the chromosomes, such as having too many or too few. Environmental factors can also cause abnormalities, such as being infected with rubella or toxoplasmosis, or the use of alcohol (fetal alcohol syndrome).
Traits can have both environmental and genetic components.For example, Anger might be hereditary, but could have both environmental and genetic components.Obesity, or even height might also have both genetic and environmental components.
it is an environmental factor that causes a population to decrease.
Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequences in a genome. Most often, these minor mistaks are corrected by in-built repair mechanisms and many mutations go unnoticed an are not harmful. Harmful mutations cause diseases in many cases. There are several factors that promote the formation of mutations. These factors are called mutagenic agents. Mutagenic agents are divided into: chemical and physical mutagens. UV radiation is an example of a physical mutagen and Nitrous acid is an expample of a chemical mutagen
Autism is not a disease, Autism is a neurological difference. As Autism is neurological it occurs in the womb, mostly we believe it is caused by genes or genetic mutations, although environmental factors such as medications taken by the mother during pregnancy may cause autism.
Mutagens are chemical or physical factors that increase the rate of mutation. Some are natural, and some are synthetic. Some examples of mutagens are: - Cosmic rays - Some viruses - Harmful atomic radiation - Recreational drugs - Tobacco - Alcohol - Pesticides - Asbestos - Soot
