Species change little by little with each generation, and over a long period of time they can develop into new species.

Answer 1

Answer: Species change little by little with each generation, and over a long period of time they can develop into new species.

Natural selection a term popularised by Charles Darwin can be defined as the a process by which inherited characteristics that confer reproductive and survival advantages to organisms tends to be passed on to future generations while less favourable or obsolete characteristics are eliminated from future or succeeding generations.

This can be seen in the correct option in which species change little by little due to Adaptations of new and useful characteristics.
