Answer:

1. While you do inherit certain genes from your mother and father, you will get separate versions of those genes meaning there will be advantages and disadvantages.

2. Charles Darwin, Natural selection explains how the genetic traits of a species may change over time. This may lead to speciation and the formation of a distinct new species.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Something that is an advantage towards the person achieving the genes is whether or not that trait is beneficial. For example, your body size can be determined by your mother or father which can lead to negative health or positive health. That can be a disadvantage (shape, being born with asthma, inheriting a mental illness). All can be achieved because of a parent.

2. Charles Darwin and his theory illustrate genes because as a parent hands over a gene during pregnancy it can be altered because it is a different version of that gene and that can lead to different species whether it is visible or not.
