Chapter 56.1, Problem 2SB

Summary Introduction

To review:

The observation of Arnold’s experiment to demonstrate that receptiveness of garter snake to a meal of banana slug has a genetic basis.

Introduction:

The hypothesis about the genetic basis of receptiveness of garter snake to banana slug is to be tested, so Arnold carried out an experiment, which involved breeding of garter snakes from coastal region and inland region. These two belong to the same species but differ in the fact that those of coastal regions regularly ate banana slugs but those from inland region rarely had them.
