We discussed the conceptual problems that arise when we try to interpret “genetic knock-out” experiments (such as the one with the mice and parenting behavior). Which statement is correct?
| A. The experiments are problematic because parenting behavior has nothing to do with genetics. |
| B. We need to consider the population effects |
| C. Homogeneous environments lead to an overestimation of the genetic effects |
| D.We might underestimate phylogenetic effects |
| E. We need to make a distinction between necessary and sufficient causes |
Which statement is incorrect about mutations?
| inherited mutations typically affect a number of body systems | |
| inherited mutations can be found basically in all cells of the body | |
| the effects of acquired mutations on the body are usually very limited. | |
| mutations are important for evolution | |
| being often on long flights (e.g., like flight attendants and pilots) increases the chance for mutations |
