Question

How are the hereditary changes responsible for evolution?

Answer 1

Heredity - This is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring either through sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction.


The offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents through a mechanism known as inheritance.

The inherited traits undergo modification.

Through hereditary, variations between individuals can accumulate and cause species to undergo evolution by natural selection.

This is made possible by :

1.) Inheritance of acquired traits.

2.) Modification of inherited traits.

This will cause species to evolve.
