Question

subsequent experiments would demonstrate the veracity of mendel’s findings by replicating his studies and confirming his results. however, it would be nearly a hundr years before the mechanism of this inheritance was discovered. we now know that ge are responsible for the pattern that mendel observed in his pea plants. plants and ani usually have two copies of the same gene, one from each parent. it’s only when both copies are recessive that the recessive trait—in mendel’s experiments, the trait for wh flowers—is expressed, or made visible. what is the meaning of veracity as used in the passage? accuracy usefulness meaning limitations

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "veracity" in the passage, we analyze the context. The passage states that subsequent experiments replicated Mendel’s studies and confirmed his results. "Veracity" here refers to the truthfulness or correctness of his findings. Among the options, "accuracy" (the quality of being correct or precise) aligns with this context. "Usefulness" refers to how useful something is, "meaning" refers to the significance or definition, and "limitations" refers to restrictions, none of which fit the context of confirming the truth of Mendel’s findings.

Answer:

accuracy
