Which of the studies below provide evidence linking genes and behavior? (Check all that apply)A) Fruit flies that are mutant for the genes dunce or rutabaga have impaired learning.B) Mice that are lacking either the ephrinB3 or the EphA4 gene cannot walk normally, but instead hop like a kangaroo.C) Two lines of fruit flies were created by repeatedly selecting for high or low aggressive behavior.
