Question

a student is given a list of traits and is asked to organize them in a venn diagram as shown below. traits wolf’s social status tiger’s stripes blood type a scar skin color musical talent inherited both acquired i ii iii which traits should the student put in section i (inherited)? wolf’s social status and blood type skin color and a scar tiger’s stripes and blood type a scar and wolf’s social status

Explanation:

To determine inherited traits (section I), we analyze each trait:

• Inherited traits are passed genetically. Tiger’s stripes (genetic) and blood type (genetic) are inherited.
• Wolf’s social status, a scar, and musical talent (if not genetic) are acquired or social. Skin color can be inherited, but pairing with a scar (acquired) is wrong. Wolf’s social status (acquired) with blood type is wrong. A scar (acquired) and wolf’s social status (acquired) are wrong. So tiger’s stripes and blood type fit.

Answer:

C. tiger’s stripes and blood type (assuming the option is labeled as such; from the options, the one with "tiger’s stripes and blood type")
