Question

Quiz Instructions This is the actual exam. Password: biology D Question 20 2 pts Which of the following is NOT an observation related to Darwin's mechanism for evolution? In a population, each individual has different traits that distinguish it from other organisms in the population. Many of the traits in an individual are heritable, they obtained those traits from their ancestor and they will in turn pass some of those traits to their offspring. Not all of the offspring from an organism actually survive and produce offspring of their own. ever the environment requires it, can spontaneously morph into a different one. In each environment, the individuals that live there, have traits that enable them to thrive in that Next

Explanation / Answer

Statement number 4 is not correct.

That is "any organism ,whenever the environment requires it,can spontaneously morph into different one"

This is not Correct observation.

Evolution is a slow process. There are gradual and minor mutations over generations and if these mutation are beneficial to the organism then they will be expressed and the organism undergoes morphological changes over a long period of time but not spontaneously.
