Heredity and Heritability — Unit test

Question 10 • Anatomy & Physiology A

A person who studies genetics is called a geneticist. A geneticist would most likely be interested in learning about which of the following?

Answer
A
the structure of all molecules found in humans
B
the behaviors that children learn from their parents and environment
C
the number of offspring produced by humans
D
the way in which diseases are passed from parent to offspring

Explanation

Genetics is the study of heredity—how traits are passed from parents to offspring. A geneticist would therefore be interested in how diseases are inherited. The other choices focus on molecules generally, learned behavior, or the number of offspring, rather than inheritance.
