Q

Animals within the same species ____
vary from one another. This is because of their slightly different _____.For example, not all cheetahs can run at the same speed. This is because each cheetah will develop differently due to its _____.

A

Animals within the same species Vary
vary from one another. This is because of their slightly different genes.For example, not all cheetahs can run at the same speed. This is because each cheetah will develop differently due to its genes.
