'Descent with modification' is the central theme of

• A. Recapitupation
• B. Genetics
• C. Evolution
• D. Biogenesis

Answer 1

The correct option is C Evolution

'Descent with modification' is the central theme of evolution. Evolution is change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules.

Recapitulation is the repetition of an evolutionary or other process during development or growth.

Genetics is the study of genes, heredity and genetic variation in living organisms. It is generally considered a field of biology, but it intersects frequently with many of the life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.

Biogenesis is the production of new living organisms or organelles. The law of biogenesis, attributed to Louis Pasteur, is the observation that living things come only from other living things, by reproduction.
