Answer:

One possible organism that I can choose is a dog. A dog is an animal that belongs to the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Chordata, and the class Mammalia.

A dog could have siblings that share the same parents, but might have different traits because of genetic variation.

Genetic variation is the difference in DNA sequences among individuals of the same species

It can result from mutations, recombination, or random assortment of chromosomes during meiosis

Some examples of traits that might be different among dog siblings are coat color, eye color, size, shape, and temperament

These traits are influenced by both genes and environment

Step-by-step explanation:

is that good?
