[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

These statements are partially correct. Lack of competition with other fish can indeed lead to larger growth in goldfish, as they do not have to compete for resources such as food. However, it does not directly change the genetics of the goldfish. The genetic potential for growth is determined by the goldfish's genetic makeup, which is inherited from its parents. Lack of competition simply allows the goldfish to reach its maximum potential size.
