Lab: Mouse Genetics (One Trait)

Question 12 • IS - O - 3490 - The Living Earth B CP Online

Error Analysis: What might be the reason that some of your percentages didn’t exactly match your predicted results?

Answer
A
Gametes aren’t responsible for inheritance.
B
Mice don’t have large litters, so the sample size was not large enough.
C
The wrong type of mice were used.

Explanation

Predicted percentages describe expected results over many offspring, but actual results can vary by chance in a small sample. Mice usually have relatively small litters, so there may not have been enough offspring for the observed percentages to match the predictions exactly. This makes “Mice don’t have large litters, so the sample size was not large enough” the best answer.
