Which statement shows that evolution explains both similarity and difference?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Organisms from a common ancestor can change differently in different environments
Evolution explains similarity through common ancestry: related organisms can inherit features from an earlier shared population. It also explains differences because mutations, recombination, selection and environmental conditions can lead related populations along different paths. Thus A combines both ideas correctly. B denies change, C denies common ancestry, and D incorrectly limits evolution to humans.
