Questions:

- By what means can the current test to the set up model of heredity be accommodated with the unequivocal dismissal of delicate legacy by twentieth century hereditary qualities?

- How is the pluralistic model of heredity focuses to the presence of variety in the way of legacy among taxa and qualities ?
