What is the best reason for studying heredity and evolution together?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Generation-wise changes in inherited traits form the basis of evolution
Heredity explains how genetic information and traits pass from parents to offspring, while evolution explains how inherited variation changes in populations across many generations. Natural selection can preserve useful variations, causing population-level change over time. Thus option A correctly connects the two subjects. The other options incorrectly restrict both ideas to digestion, one lifetime, or no relationship.
