In reference to plant and animal adaptations, how are the principles of heredity and genetics applicable to how organisms change over time?
Answered by bobpursley
genetics offers diversity (many different combinations of DNA were involved), and mutations occured also. So, with all this diversity in genetics, some of the adaptations might lend favorable to reproduction, or fitness to survive. Those adaptations then will reproduce at a higher rate than those which did not reproduce, or survive.
