A young goat has downward-curved horns. Its father has upward-curved horns while its mother has downward- curved horns. Which of these statements explains why the young goat has downward-curved horns?
The young goat inherited its copies of the gene for horn shape from its mother and not from its father.
Just like its mother's genes, those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its
downward-curved horns.
The young goat inherited its copies of the gene for horn shape from its mother and not from its father.
Those genes connect together to make its downward-curved horns.
The young goat inherited one copy of the gene for horn shape from its mother and one copy from its
father. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in ways that make downward-curved
horns.
The young goat inherited one copy of the gene for horn shape from its mother and one copy from its
father. Those genes connect together to make its downward-curved horns.
