Share:
- 1Normal inheritance ensures a 100% transmission rate, while gene drive ensures a 50% transmission rate.
- 2Normal inheritance has a 50% chance of passing the altered gene, while gene drive ensures nearly 100% inheritance across generations.✓
- 3Normal inheritance depends only on maternal DNA, while gene drive depends only on paternal DNA.
- 4Normal inheritance suppresses the altered gene entirely, while gene drive alters the entire ecosystem in one generation.
Correct answer
Normal inheritance has a 50% chance of passing the altered gene, while gene drive ensures nearly 100% inheritance across generations.
