Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
In heredity, similarity refers to resemblance between children and their parents, whereas variation refers to differences between them.
Regression describes the tendency of extreme traits to move toward the population average. Galton's biometric method represents hereditary contributions as diminishing across successive ancestral levels.
Application
A maps to IV: resemblance to parents expresses the law of similarity.
B maps to III: differences from parents express the law of variation.
C maps to II: movement toward the average expresses the law of regression.
D maps to I: diminishing hereditary contributions across ancestral levels describe Galton's biometric method.
Cross-check and contrast
The four independently identified relations use each List II entry exactly once, giving A–IV, B–III, C–II, D–I.
I–II–IV–III assigns similarity and regression to statements that describe different principles.
IV–II–I–III assigns regression to variation and assigns the biometric method to movement toward the average.
I–III–IV–II assigns the biometric method to similarity and the law of similarity to movement toward the average.
Therefore, the matching sequence is IV–III–II–I.
