Question

read the science textbook excerpt and then answer the question. genes and behavior in the 1940s, behavioral psychologist robert tryon conducted an experiment in which rats were placed in a complex maze that had a food reward at one exit. rats that made fewer errors navigating the maze were bred together to create a \maze - bright colony.\ rats that made more errors were bred together to create a \maze - dull colony.\ after selectively breeding the mice for seven generations, tryon tested offspring from each colony to determine how quickly those rats would learn the maze. offspring of the maze - bright rats consistently made fewer errors than the maze - dull offspring. tryons research therefore suggests that the ability to navigate the maze successfully was influenced by genes passed from parent to offspring. who is the primary audience? genetics researchers professional psychologists biology students people who own pet rats

Explanation:

The text is an excerpt from a science textbook about a genetics - related experiment in rats. It is written in a way that seems educational and introductory, which is more suitable for biology students who are learning about genetics and behavior. Genetics researchers and professional psychologists may find it too basic, and people who own pet rats are not the target audience as it is a scientific experiment - based text.

Answer:

biology students
