Which of these statements is FALSE? Group of answer choices Mendelian genetics are not supported by modern evolutionary theory because we now know that most traits exhibit continuous variation, which is incompatible with the rigidity of Mendel’s three laws. The modern synthesis helped bridge the gap between microevolution, which occurs within and among populations, and macroevolution, which occurs at the species level and above. Darwin believed in blending inheritance, which was problematic for his theory of natural selection because it means that variation would be lost at each successive generation. The modern synthesis on evolutionary theory introduced a mathematical framework and experimental approaches that made inferences about evolutionary processes predictable and testable.
