OBJECTIVES
***By the end of this Test, students should be able to answer the following:*** a.) What is heredity and who first proposed it?
b.) How do organisms inherit traits from their parents? c.) How do scientists predict which genes an organism will
inherit? d.) Why are some physical traits more common than others?
e.) How do humans select for certain traits in some
organisms?
***FOR QUESTIONS 11 - 20***
Adele Harper was fascinated by rabbits and wanted to know why they varied. She closely observed their visible characteristics, or phenotypes, and found that traits are passed from parent to offspring. One trait that Adele studied was hair color. The gene for this trait has two alleles. The dominant allele (B) is for brown hair and the recessive allele (b) is for white hair. The second trait that Adele studied was ear genetics. The gene for this has two alleles. The dominant allele (E) is for straight ears, and the recessive allele (e) is for floppy ears. Breed bunnies to discover the phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring.
*** (B) is for brown hair (b) is for white hair ***
*** (E) is for straight ears (e) is for floppy ears ***

Explanation:
6. Humans breed animals with certain traits by selecting parent animals with desirable traits. When the selected parent animals have offspring, these offspring are more likely to have the desired trait than offspring produced through random mating. This process is called ______________________?

B) Artificial Intelligence
C) Artificial Beings
D) Artificial Mammals
