Accepted Answer

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem which one is true about heritable differences among organisms. So let's just quickly go over answer choices so that we can identify that through statements beginning by answer choice A they can be transferred from parent to offspring. And if we look at this word heritable, that is exactly what it means. Heritable means from parent two offspring. So something that is transferred. And so we're not going to cancel us out As it is a true statement. These heritable differences are transferred from parent to offspring. So let's go over to answer choice. C. They involve changes in DNA. So when two parents come together to create an offspring, this offspring is going to contain the D. N. A. From two parents. And since we're talking about heritable differences the D. N. A. Or these heritable differences will contain changes in DNA. That will make it different from other just offspring or other organisms. And so we're going to not cancel it out as well as it is going to be a true statement. And then we have to be there. The raw materials for evolution or evolution happens when the little frequencies of a population change and this happens when there are differences India leo's or use access different alleles in the population. So if we have DNA differences if we have different alleles present then we will have these evolution occurring when the allele frequencies change. So heritable differences. There's this raw material for evolution because they provide if necessary use leaders or the necessary differences for evolution to occur. So we're not going to cancel this out either because it is a correct statement. So since we were not able to cancel out any of our statement, we're going to highlight answer choice D, A, b, c, a B and C are correct as our final answer. So thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video. I really hope this video helped you.
