Two rabbits with the same genes may exhibit different coloration due to environmental factors influencing gene expression, a phenomenon known as epigenetics. Factors such as temperature, sunlight exposure, and diet in their respective northern and southern habitats can activate or suppress certain genes responsible for fur color. Additionally, differences in local predators and mating patterns may drive natural selection, favoring certain traits in one environment over the other. Thus, while their genetic makeup is identical, their surroundings can lead to observable differences in coloration.

Why two rabbits with the same genes might not be colored the same if the one is raised in the northeren Maine and one is raised in southern Texas?

Two rabbits with the same genes might not be colored the same due to environmental factors influencing gene expression, a phenomenon known as epigenetics. Differences in climate, temperature, light exposure, and habitat can trigger variations in fur pigmentation, leading to distinct coloration. Additionally, factors such as diet and stress levels in their respective environments can further impact their physical traits, despite sharing the same genetic makeup.
