Individual organisms do not evolve, they retain the same genes throughout their life. When a population is evolving, the ratio of different genetic types is changing so each individual organism within a population does not change.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

They cannot evolve because they retain the same genes throughout their life. Evolving populations have the ratio of different genetic types change. Each of these individual organisms in a population does not change.

Hope this helps!
