I think most scientists would not respect this researchers claim.
It doesn't seem like the researcher followed the steps of the scientific method.
1.) Making an observation.
2.)Asking questions.
3.)Forming a hypothesis.
4.)Conducting an experiment.
5.)Analyzing Data.
6.)Drawing a conclusion.
7.)Showing work to others.
Publishing his/her work would be the very last step after completing everything else.
Mendel observed that a heterozygote offspring can show the same phenotype as the parent homozygote, so he concluded that there were some traits that dominated over other inherited traits. However, the relationship of genotype to phenotype is rarely as simple as the dominant and recessive patterns described by Mendel.
Because it can respire anaerobically, without oxygen.
Hope this helps!
There should be 3 genes involved in the seven phenotypic categories
