Step-by-step explanation:

Phenotypes can cause by genes, environmental factors, or a combination of both.

Phenotypic variation, then, is the variability in phenotypes that exists in a population. For example, all people come in different shapes and sizes: height, weight, and body shape are phenotypes that vary.
