Question

Descent with modification is the basis of which theory?

• A. Recapitulation theory
• B. Oparin's theory
• C. Theory of organic evolution
• D. Cell theory

Answer 1

The correct option is C Theory of organic evolution

The evolutionary term descent with modification is most often associated with human evolution, but it is actually a more general term than that would suggest. Simply put, descent with modification means that traits are passed down from generation to generation and sometimes undergo changes or modifications over time. These changes may be caused by natural selection or even a mutation of DNA. It is a theory of organic evolution.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
