This is a very easy paragraph analysis question. The answer is c. "Over time, scientific knowledge is reevaluated and extended through new scientific research." The reason why the answer is C., is because the chronological order of the study of genetics is as follows:
- Mendel does his pea plants experiments, but did not know how traits were passed to the offspring.
- Avery concludes that DNA is the "material" that passes on traits to the offspring, probably using Mendel's research and his own research (pneuonimia virus research) as well.
- Since the existence of DNA was published, Watson and Crick used it to identify an accurate model of the structure of DNA, using the four bases: cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine.
Overall, we see a trend of scientists publishing results based on what scientists did before.

The given question is incorrect. The correct question is:
Which of the following is true about a plant with the genotype AABbcc?
a. It is heterozygous at two loci.
b. It is homozygous at two loci.
c. It is triploid.
d. It will not express the recessive c allele.
e. It has recessive alleles at three loci.
Answer:
b. It is homozygous at two loci.
Explanation:
When an organism has two identical alleles of a particular gene, it is said to be homozygous for that gene. The given genotype "AABbcc" has a dominant allele for "A" and the recessive allele for "c". It is homozygous for these two genes but is heterozygous with respect to "B". The presence of three complete sets of chromosomes makes the organisms triploid. The given genotype carries two alleles for each gene and therefore, it is diploid.
