According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Almost half of the children of two left-handed parents will be left-handed
B. At least 84 percent of left-handers are born of two right-handed parents
C. One in ten of Americans are left-handed
D. In the majority of genetically identical twins, one will be right handed, the other left
题目解答
答案
D. In the majority of genetically identical twins, one will be right handed, the other left
解析
本题考查学生对文章细节的准确理解能力,需要结合选项与原文信息进行比对。关键点在于识别选项中与原文矛盾的描述。需注意以下几点:
- 遗传概率:左撇子的遗传机制复杂,父母均为左撇子时子女的概率;
- 统计比例:左撇子在人口中的占比及家庭背景分布;
- 双胞胎手性:基因相同是否导致手性必然相同。
选项分析
选项A
原文可能指出,若父母均为左撇子,子女中约有50%的概率成为左撇子,因此该选项正确。
选项B
文章可能提到,84%以上的左撇子出生自双右撇子父母,这与遗传学中左撇子基因可能为隐性特征的理论一致,故选项正确。
选项C
文中可能明确说明美国左撇子占比约为10%,此为常识性数据,选项正确。
选项D
关键矛盾点:基因相同的双胞胎手性应高度一致,若原文强调“同卵双胞胎中手性不同者占多数”,则与生物学常识及逻辑矛盾,因此选项D错误。
