Solution

Evolution:

  1. It is a cumulative change that occurs in a population over time.
  2. These changes occur due to changes in the genetic level.
  3. The genes mutate and/or recombine during reproduction and are passed on to generations.
  4. Disease resistance in organisms and the evolution of the horse are examples of evolution.
  5. Non-genetic changes are not an example of evolution.
  6. An increase in muscle mass due to exercise/diet cannot be passed on to the generations.
  7. Hence, it is not an example of evolution.
