Because sebastian lacks access to healthy food, he may not grow to be as tall as he could. however, if healthy food becomes available, his body may "snap back into its genetically determined path." what is the term used to describe this process?

Canalization

Explanation:

Channeling is a genetic term that refers to an individual's ability to express a phenotypic trait predetermined by the genotype, despite environmental influences and external resources. An example of plumbing can be seen in the question above, where Sebastian has no access to quality food. This will influence him to have a lower height than that determined in his genotype.
