Question

A commentator once described genetics as 'the queen of the biological sciences.' The statement was meant to imply that genetics is of overarching importance in the biological sciences. Do you agree with this statement? In what ways do you think the statement is accurate?

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Mandel proposed that particles control heredity through an experiment on P plants. Prior to this, many believed that the phenotype of the offspring are the results of the random mixing of the parents' characteristics. This theory is referred to as what? So when we're talking about the random mixing of the parents characteristics, many people believed that this random mixing of rental traits was similar to how they blended paints. And so the idea of that random mixing resembling the blending of paints led to them creating the blending theory of inheritance or answer choice B because before Mandel proposed that particles control heredity through an experiment on P plants, many people believed that inheritance was explained by the blending theory in which the random mixing of the parental traits resembled the blending of paints. So they came up with the blending theory of inheritance or answer choice B. The correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
