Question

in the nineteenth century, gregor mendel first determined some basic rules of genetics that have been observed throughout all types of life. no observations have disproved these basic rules of genetics. charles darwin developed the idea of biological evolution around the same time, but he was unaware of mendels discoveries in genetics. over a century later, darwins idea of evolution was modified in order to incorporate mendels rules of genetics along with the other evidence that darwin had used. what is most likely the relationship between mendels rules of genetics and darwins idea of biological evolution? mendels genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution. biological evolution states laws that are part of mendels theory of genetics. mendels genetics replaced darwins entire concept of biological evolution. biological evolution is a law that explains why all genetics exist.

Explanation:

Mendel's genetics provided fundamental laws about inheritance. Darwin's theory of evolution was later modified to include Mendel's genetic rules as part of the evidence for evolution. A theory incorporates laws and evidence. So Mendel's genetics (laws) became part of the theory of biological evolution.

Answer:

Mendel's genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.
