Target entity: law of homologous series in variation
Context triple: [Nikolai Vavilov, notableWork, law of homologous series in variation]
  • A. Mendel's laws
    Mendel's laws are the foundational principles of heredity that explain how traits are inherited through discrete genetic units from one generation to the next.
  • B. Hardy–Weinberg principle
    The Hardy–Weinberg principle is a fundamental concept in population genetics that describes how allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in an idealized, non-evolving population.
  • C. Materials for the Study of Variation
    Materials for the Study of Variation is William Bateson’s pioneering 1894 monograph that systematically documented biological variation and helped lay the groundwork for modern genetics.
  • D. Gloger’s rule
    Gloger’s rule is an ecogeographical principle stating that endothermic animals in more humid, warmer climates tend to have darker pigmentation than those in cooler, drier regions.
  • E. Sturtevant’s Law
    Sturtevant’s Law is a linguistic principle in Indo-European studies that explains a characteristic pattern of consonant lengthening in Hittite as a reflex of earlier voiceless stops.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
