Is it possible that a polar bear could have more in common genetically

what? that doesn't even make sense anon

I think its theoretically possible but extremely unlikely

Possibly. But more likely is that, by the time the polar bear changes enough to be closer to grizzly than polar, it won't be consisdered a polar bear anymore.

Genetic variations due to sexual reproduction (the way a polar bear can have genetic diversity) are minimal compared to the rest of the bulk of information that encodes everything else, from how this specific cell can encode protein #52711 to being able to grow 4 appendages and not 8, and information like this does not vary (unless in extreme mutations) during sexual reproduction.

Wouldn't it stop being a polar bear and become a brown bear once it has more in common with the brown bear than the polar bear?

I mean the situation that you're describing is just a polar bear randomly giving birth to a brown bear. I guess it's possible but unlikely.

Is this some sort of race analogy...?

no
