breeding.
THE ANSWER

B. When a species reproduces and their current environment

can't hold these increasing numbers, some of the species are
pushed out into niche environments and are caused to adapt.
This causes evolution.

True
2. Evolution is only concerned with _____ characteristics → Heritable

INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER

True

3. Certain structural features in the anatomy of groups of organisms have come from similar ancestry however these
structures have different uses. E.g. Human arm and Dog leg → Convergent Evolution

INCORRECT
