The reasons why elephants are considered to be a bad choice for studying genetic inheritance are the following;

- Elephants has one or two offspring in which they produced in their lifetime and by that, there is only little information that could be gained and collected from it.

- Elephants live for a long time in which one generation is not applicable for studying because their generation span is slowly passing which is not considered to be practical for the study.

Genetics is the study of heredity and inheritance of genes. There are several organisms used in genetics to understand the genotypic, evolution, and adaptations of organisms. Elephants are not ideal choice for genetics because they have slow maturity rate and have long life span.

The elephants are not the best choice for the study of genetic inheritance, because:

Elephants mates once or twice in their life time. The average offspring produced by elephants are one, two, or three. The information or inheritance study will be difficult on such number of progeny. The elephants have long life span. They mature slowly and have an average life of 60 to 70 years. Thus, it makes it difficult for the scientists to study the inheritance pattern, observe phenotypic characters in offspring, and their analysis.

Therefore, the elephants are not ideal choice for genetic study because of their long life span.

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.

Amale bird-of-paradise uses a dance to attract mates in which it flaps its tail feathers on the ground and jumps around a potential female mate. a different male bird-of-paradise does a similar dance but it jumps around the female in the opposite direction. the female bird is only attracted to one style of dance, in one direction. this is an example of speciation.

What is the best conclusion based on this data? the hypothesis was not supported because the data indicated that fertilizing plants does not improve plant growth. the hypothesis was supported; to get the best growth, use 5 milliliters of fertilizer per plant. the hypothesis was not supported; the data indicated that too much fertilizer can inhibit plant growth. the hypothesis was supported; to get the best growth, use 15 milliliters of fertilizer per plant.
