Answer 1

phenotypes

Step-by-step explanation:

Phenotype of the organism is composite of observable characteristics or traits of the organism. The traits include morphology or the physical form and the structure of the organism; the developmental processes of the organism ; the biochemical and the physiological properties of the organism; the behavior and products of the behavior of the organism.

Organism's phenotype results from the two basic factors, which are:

Thus, both Aubrey and Ava have different phenotypes which leads to having different symptoms between them.
