Correct answer: C. Variations occur.
- A. Genetic continuity is conserved.
- B. Inherited variations are conserved.
- C. Variations occur.
- D. Inherited similarities are conserved.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
