Answer 1

Yes two individuals can share exactly the same environment but not in all cases. Like the case of monozygotic twins; in this case the two individuals are sharing the same womb from where the take up their food and all developmental needs, even as they grow up they tend to grow in the same environment like the parenting effect given to them by their oarents, but as they grow up and become independent individual or will be based on their own abilities to how much they can share their environment because at this stage their work differs.

In case of a mother daughter the aboves explanation may be considered upto the stage where she is born. After birth the environment changes because of age difference and need.

One male and female friend may not share the same environment because they belong to different families and there need differ to which they may interfere with each other but not upto the extend where they share.

Two female friend this case is a type of competitive interaction hence sharing of the exact environment is a little different. As in a competitive evniroenvir the fittest survive .
