In which situation can a variation pass to the next generation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it is present in the genetic material of reproductive cells
A variation is inherited only when the relevant genetic change is present in reproductive cells or their genetic material, because these cells contribute hereditary information to offspring. A wound, exercise-built muscle, or learned habit affects the individual but does not normally alter the genes passed to children. Therefore option A is correct.
