A weightlifter has spent years building his muscular strength. His newborn daughter has normal strength for a baby. Which statement best explains this situation?
A daughter inherits most of her traits from her mother. The daughter’s muscles are unlikely to resemble her father’s.
The weightlifter’s wife probably did not lift weights. Both parents must have this trait before the baby can inherit it.
Babies do not have strong muscles. The daughter’s muscles will be unusually strong in a few more months.
The weightlifter’s highly developed muscles resulted from exercise. A characteristic such as this will not be inherited.

BRCA genes are human genes that normally work to help shut down cancer cells before they can harm the body. Scientists have learned that individuals inheriting a damaged form of a BRCA gene are at greater risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. This discovery is an important first step in
preventing the uncontrolled meiotic division of cells in humans
identifying individuals at risk and recommending preventive treatment
being able to detect all the genes that regulate meiosis
helping to eliminate all BRCA genes

Gene editing can be used to swap out an unwanted gene for a desirable one from the same species. Which statement best explains why the desired gene will be found in all cells that come from the genetically edited cell?
The original cell will reproduce by meiosis and a mutation will occur.
The altered DNA in the edited cell will be replicated and passed on to each new cell during mitosis.
DNA replication in body cells will result in sperm and egg cells with the edited gene.
The desired gene will be inserted into each new cell by using restriction enzymes.

Identical twins were separated at birth and raised by two different families. Years later, one twin was a physically fit member of the cross-country team, and the other twin was overweight with slightly higher-than-normal blood pressure. The differences in these twins could be explained by the fact that
the genes in the two individuals are completely different
in twins, each individual inherits genes from only one parent
the DNA bases in twins combine differently
the environment can influence the expression of genes
