    The question is incomplete. The statements are the following:

    (1) The new animal must get the DNA from two different parents, not just one cell.

    (2) Mutations could occur that change the cloned animal into a completely different species.

    (3) Recombination of the cells as they are cloned will make the resulting pet act differently.

    (4) The environment could influence how genes

    are expressed, changing how the animal looks and acts.

    Answer:

    4. The environment could influence how genes are expressed, changing how the animal looks and acts

    Explanation:

    An organism is product of the interaction between genes (inherited characters) and environment (non-inherited)
