armadillos give birth to identical quadruplets. A zoo with a healthy population of armadillos gives three to other zoos and retains the fourth. Researchers collect data on each armadillo and find that trait differences develop. What are the likely influences of genetic and environmental factors in these differences?

Variations are due to genetic and environmental factors.
Variations are due to genetic and environmental factors.

Variations are due to factors besides genetic or environmental
Variations are due to factors besides genetic or environmental

Answer 1

The likely influences of genetic and environmental factors in the differences observed among the armadillos are that variations are due to genetic and environmental factors.
