Of the picks only c can be correct because these mutations could lead to evolutionary change in future populations of these organisms under question.
evolutionary changes in organisms
are called mutations. Mutations in sex cells can be passed onto offspring and may result in genetic disorders or variations in characteristics.
b: the organism, but not its offspring
the answer is mutations.......................
changes in DNA
Mutations are considered as the raw materials of evolutionary change. They are structural changes in the DNA sequence of an organism.
New traits in a population can arise through mutations in the DNA of an organism. Mutations are changes in the genetic code that can result in new characteristics that may be passed on to offspring. These traits can then be subject to natural selection and other evolutionary mechanisms.

Evolutionary Change refers to the changes in the DNA sequence or mutations to help drive.
are called mutations. Mutations in sex cells can be passed onto offspring and may result in genetic disorders or variations in characteristics.
Mutations create changes in the genetic code. There are different types of mutations and vary in degree of harm or even benefit to the organism. If the mutation happens to be beneficial to the organism, then it can be passed down to its offspring and thus this leads to genetic variation in the population.
Mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism. If these mutations help an organism survive in its environment, it would be considered an adaption.
The mutations or other changes are adaptations.
Mutations take a huge part in evolutionary change for a few reasons. A species can be altered permanently if a mutation occurs that is beneficial. On the other hand, if a mutation that is harmful occurs, it will not be in the offspring most likely because of natural selection. Sometimes mutations will be dormant, but this isn't as big in evolution, but can be helpful if the environment changes and their mutation deals with something accepting more harsh conditions.
More mutations will be acquired, leading to more phenotypic changes.
they have lots of steps
Changes in DNA are called mutations. DNA is inherited from the parents. If a mutation occurs in the gametes then those changes are passed on to the offspring. Mutations occur naturally, some are minuscule, some are harmful and die out, others are either beneficial or harmless and are passed on. In humans, red hair is thought to be a benign mutation. It is not selected for by evolutionary pressures, unlike white skin which is thought to be selected for in climates without enough sun. The white skinned people were able to absorb more sunlight and make vitamin D.
