Tasting is dominant, meaning that if you have at least one copy of the tasting version of the gene, you can taste PTC. True or False?
True
Non-tasters have two copies of the non-tasting allele. (T/F)?

Widow's peak is likely controlled by environment rather than the genes. But while hairline shape tends to run in families, its pattern of inheritance is usually unpredictable, suggesting that multiple genes are involved. (T/F)

In the bugsville activity, what did you set out/ estimate to determine?
heritability of the spot count from the ladybug population
In bugsville activity, the red dots represent ladybugs. Large dots are adults while small dots are_____
larvae
(T/F) In the bugsville activity, actual response to selection matched close enough/ exactly to the predictive response.
True
