Question

There are many different breeds of dogs. The table below gives the average adult size of several of these breeds when individualsare raised in similar environments.Breed Average Height (inches) Average Weight (pounds)toy fox terrier8.5 -11.53.5-9.0Pomeranian7.0 - 12.04.2 -7.7Portuguese water dog 17.0-22.033.0-60.0Irish wolfhound32.0 - 35.0115.0 - 180.0Great Dane28.0 - 34.099.0 - 200.0Scientists identified a single gene that controls growth in dogs. They found that the Pomeranians and toy fox terriers have similarversions of this gene, but Portuguese water dogs, Irish wolfhounds, and Great Danes have different versions.Which best explains the findings and the data in the table?OA. The environment in which the dogs grow changes their genetic material, and these changes affect the dogs' growth.OB. The versions of the gene in Irish wolfhounds and Great Danes decrease the rate at which these breeds grow.C. The version of the gene in Pomeranians and toy fox terriers limits growth, so these breeds can only grow to small sizes.D. The difference in size between Portuguese water dogs, Irish wolfhounds, and Great Danes produces different changes inthe dogs' genes.ResetSubmit

Answer 1

Answer: C. The version of the gene in Pomeranians and toy fox terriers limits growth, so these breeds can only grow to small sizes.

Answer 2

The correct option is "C. The version of the gene in Pomeranians and toy fox terriers limits growth, so these breeds can only grow to small sizes." Since, the findings highlight how different variations of the same gene, produce different results in the dogs phenotype, that is, its size.
