How are adaptations passed to offspring? Group of answer choices

Adaptations skip generations in organisms. Even if one organism "learns" an adaptation, it will be their "grandchild" organism that gets it.

Adaptations are mostly random, as they are genetic. They are written in the DNA. Changes in genes are random. If a mutation happens and the offspring of two parents has a mutation, sometimes that mutation will help it live.

The parents develop during their lifetime, so their DNA changes, and when they mate, the adaptation and then pass it on to offspring

Parents purposely CHOOSE which adaptations they give to their offspring, because they can choose which half of their genes are going to go into that organism, and predict how it will mix with it's mates genes. it is planned out to ensure species survival. This is especially true in flowering plants.
