Question

Gregor Mendel demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring independently of one another under all circumstances that he tested. All other genetics researchers have observed this as well. Based on this information, the statement can be made that “traits are passed from parents to offspring independently of one another.” Which describes the statement of fact? a law a hypothesis a theory an observation

Answer 1

The answer is A. A law

Explanation:

The fact "traits are passed from parents to offspring" has been scientifically proven not only by Mendel but by many other scientists. Additionally, these experiments showed this phenomenon always occurs. In this context, this statement is considered a law, which is a statement that describes an event or phenomenon that always happens and has been proven through experiments. Moreover, this is classified as a law rather than a theory because it only describes a phenomenon of genetics but does not explain it.
