I. IDENTIFICATION: Identify what is being asked is the statement. Write your answer in
the space provided for.

_____________ 1. It is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and

usually more complex or better form.
_____________ 2. It is a general term that refers to any pattern of inheritance in which traits do
not segregate in accordance with Mendel’s law.
