CANDY GENETICS: A college student studying genetics has hypothesized that avorite type of candy is a genetically inherited trait and thus, 75% of people will prefer Hershey's; 10% Twix; 10% Nerds; and 5% Sour Patch Kids. After tabulating his findings, his data is as follows.. 720 prefer Hershey's; 98 prefer Twix, 112 prefer Nerds; and 70 prefer Sour Patch Kids. Statistically, you want to know if his data supports his hypothesis (A) State the null hypothesis.

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
