Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This is essentially natural selection. If there is a population of giraffes and half of them have long necks and the other half have short necks, the ones with long necks will be more likely to survive because they will be able to reach more leaves on tall trees. This means the ones with short necks will be less likely to survive, so when the long neck giraffes reproduce, they will pass on the gene for a long neck to their offspring. Over time, there will be more and more long neck giraffes and fewer short neck ones.

This is just a silly example but it is actually have animals have evolved over thousands of years lol
