2026) Genetics | Questions & Answers | Grade A |
100% Correct. Portage Learning.
1. What did Mathias and Schledein propose?: That all living
organisms were composed of organized structures called cells and that
these cells were derived from identical precursor cells
2. Who theorized natural selection?: Charles Darwin
3. Who used pea plants to model how traits are inherited from
generation to generation>: Gregor Mendel
4. What does Mendel's experiment explain?: Basic foundations of trait

6. Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection: Pressures in the environment
select for the organism most fit to survive and reproduce
7. What animal can be humanized?: The mouse
8. Benefits of using fruit flies as research subjects:: - Inexpensive - Short
life span
9. What is unique about the zebrafish?: Transparent egg and embryo
10. What has a simple nervous system that is easy to research?: Worm
11. How does preformation differ from epigenesis?: Preformation
postulated that a fertilized egg contained a miniaturized version of a tiny
human, called a homunculus. Epigenesis directly contradicted that theory
by stating that a fertilized egg undergoes a series of developmental events
that eventually form a human.
12. Transgenic: organism whose genome has been altered to contain
one or more genes from another organism or species
13. What type of plants did Gregor Mendel use in his famous
experiments?: pea plants
14. The chromosomal theory of inheritance states that:: Genes,
contributed from each parent, are carried on chromosomes.
