Answer: a.The study is funded by a group with a financial interest in the outcome.

Explanation:

Junk science is a term that is used to describe scientific research or data that is false and fraudulent and is usually presented in order for the people behind it to be able to push an agenda or assertion.  

If a study is funded by a group with a financial interest in the outcome, the research could end up being junk science as the backs might persuade the researchers to manipulate the data in such a way that it would favor them.

For instance, a Big Tobacco funded research into lung cancer finding that smoking does not contribute as much as previously thought to lung cancer

True of false Mendel realized that when he crossed two pea plants that were the offspring of a pea plant with yellow peas and a
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Mendel realized that the F2 had a phenotypic ratio 3:1, meaning 3/4 = 75% were yellow and 1/4 = 25% green.

Mendel observed that the F1 expressed only one of the alternative variants (in this case, only yellow seeds appeared), while the other variant (green) disappeared. Mendel named dominant the expressed variant. Mendel allowed auto pollination and observed that in the second generation, F2, the other disappeared variant reappeared. Both alternative variants were present in the F2. Mendel named recessive the second alternative variant.

Mendel thought that hereditary traits determined by discrete factors were the possible explication for these phenotypes. These factors should have been present in the F1 in pairs. One of them came from one parental plant, and the other factor came from the other plant. These factors then separated again when sex cells were produced, giving two types of gametes, each with only one factor.

Mendel concluded that each individual (plant) has a pair of factors (alleles), one for each trait (yellow and green) and that the pair separates (segregates) during the formation of the gametes. This conclusion is known as the segregation principle (First Mendels´ Low).
