Ascientist examines the embryos of a penguin, a duck, and a bat. she finds that the embryos of penguins and ducks develop in a similar way, whereas the embryos of a bat develop in a way that is different from penguins and ducks. which statement best explains this observation? a) penguin and duck embryos develop in a similar way since they both have similar ecological roles. b) penguin and duck embryos develop in a more similar way due to the greater number of chromosomes present in these species. c) bats experience more genetic mutations that do penguins and ducks and are likely to develop differently as a result of these random genetic changes. d) penguins and ducks develop in a more similar way since their common ancestor is more recent than the common ancestor of penguins and bats or ducks and bats.

Chapter 11.1 & 11.2 notes section 11.1 1. every living thing has a set of ? inherited from its parents. 2. after becoming a ? , mendel spent several years studying ? and mathematics at the university of vienna. 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join, a process known as ? . 4. pea flowers are normally ? , which means that sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the ? flowers. 5. when mendel crossed plants with ? characters for the same trait, the resulting offspring had only one of the characters. 6. a ? is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, that varies from one individual to another. 7. filius and filia are the latin words for ? and ? . 8. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called ? . 9.to mendel's surprise, all of the offspring had the character of only ? of the parents. 10. mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by ? that are ? from one generation to the next. 11. scientist calls the chemical factors that determine traits ? . 12. mendel's second conclusion is the ? . 13. the principle of dominance states that some alleles are ? and others are ? . 14. when mendel allowed the f1 plants to reproduce by self-pollination the traits controlled by ? alleles reappeared in about ? of the f2 plants in each cross.
