Question 86

Which of these can produce differences between individuals of the same species? Select all that apply.

  1. Belonging to a different species from one another
  2. The alleles they inherited from their parentsCorrect answer
  3. The conditions they have lived inCorrect answer
  4. Inherited alleles and living conditions acting together on one characteristicCorrect answer

Explanation

Differences can be traced to the alleles an individual inherited, to the surroundings it has lived in, or to the two working on one characteristic at once, which is the usual case for anything measured. Ruling out either cause leaves ordinary observations unexplained, and members of different species are not being compared here at all.
