Changes in DNA sequence from one generation to the next may result in offspring that are altered in fitness compared with their parents. The process of change and selection over the course of many generations is the basis of

This question lack options, options are:

A. Mutation

B. Evolution

C. Heredity

D. Reproduction

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Evolution is essentially a process of genetic change over time, that is, it is the result of accumulated changes in the composition of the gene pool. Variation is the raw material of evolution. Without genetic variation, evolution is not possible. The ultimate source of all genetic variation is mutation. A mutation is a stable and inheritable change in genetic material. Mutations alter the DNA sequence and therefore introduce new variants. Many of these variants are usually eliminated, but occasionally some of these variants can be successful and incorporated into all individuals of the species. Mutation is a factor that increases genetic diversity. This is how evolution explains the origin of various life forms as a result of changes in their genetic load. The inheritance of these variations through offspring of parents who carry the variation, although the genetic endowment of a single organism is the same throughout life, the genetic makeup of a species, understood as a whole (genetic background), changes throughout from many periods of life. Mutations and variability, the product of natural DNA recombination, provide diversity in the genetic material of a species.
