Question

Animals inherit traits from their parents. They pass some of these same traits on to their children. Suppose a pair of animals has a trait that helps them survive in their environment. They pass this trait on to their children. What effect will that probably have on the children? A. The children will be more likely to survive than if they did not have the trait. B. It will not affect the children. C. The children will be more likely to survive than their parents were. D. The children will be able to adapt if the environment changes.

Answer 1

A. The children will be more likely to survive than if they did not have the trait.

C. The children will be more likely to survive than their parents were

Everyone has the same trait, everyone is equal in that regard.

A. The children will be more likely to survive than if they did not have the trait.
