Inbred lines of animals, such as laboratory mice, are useful for studying complex traits because:

A. individuals are genetically identical, so
differences in traits must be due to
environmental differences.
B. although individuals differ both genetically
and environmentally, the genetic differences
are known, so differences in traits can be
understood.
C. animals are kept in identical environments,
so any differences in traits are due to
differences in their genes.
D. both genetic and environmental
differences between individuals are known,
making differences in their traits easy to
understand.
E. None of these choices is correct.
