description based
measurement based
12
Multiple Choice
What did Darwin breed and study?
pea plants
finches
turtles
pigeons (like you did in Pigeonetics!)
13
Multiple Choice
Why were pea plants a better choice than pigeons when studying genetics and heredity?
They are more well-behaved.
They reproduce faster.
It is more ethical.
They have less traits.
14
Multiple Choice
The genes that control traits are distinct.
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Dominance
15
Multiple Choice
Genes that control different traits switch around when organisms breed. Changing a pea's seed color in breeding doesn't seem to change it's height.
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Dominance
16
Multiple Choice
Some traits are dominant and others recessive.
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Dominance
17
Multiple Choice
Even though he is now considered the "father of genetics", why wasn't Mendel well known or celebrated during his lifetime?
He didn't care to be.
He was socially and geographically isolated living as a monk.
He had back luck reproducing his results with a plant that he did not realize reproduced asexually.
He was promoted to Abbot and did not have time to continue or complete his study.
All of the above.
