Two cups of the same size are filled to the brim with clear liquids. cup a holds water. cup b contains alcohol. your teacher challenges you to figure out which cup holds water. because of your great science knowledge, you know that all substances have their own special properties. you and your lab partner add an ice cube to each cube. the ice floats in one liquid. you predict it is water. and the ice sinks in the other liquid. you predict that liquid is alcohol. what property of matter did you use to identify the liquids?

In the nineteenth century, gregor mendel first determined some basic rules of genetics that have been observed throughout all types of life. no observations have disproved these basic rules of genetics. charles darwin developed the idea of biological evolution around the same time, but he was unaware of mendel’s discoveries in genetics. over a century later, darwin’s idea of evolution was modified in order to incorporate mendel’s rules of genetics along with the other evidence that darwin had used. what is most likely the relationship between mendel’s rules of genetics and darwin’s idea of biological evolution? a.)mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.b.)biological evolution states laws that are part of mendel’s theory of genetics.c.)mendel’s genetics replaced darwin’s entire concept of biological evolution.d.)biological evolution is a law that explains why all genetics exist.
