Question Answer
Heredity and evolution *Acquired traits: It is experienced by an organism in its life. It involves changes in non-reproductive cells, somatic cells. It is not passed down to the progeny. *Inherited trait: It is passed down from an ancestor. It involves a change in DNA. *Heredity is defined as the transmission of characteristics from one generation to the other.
*An accidental change in the frequency of genes in a small population is called a genetic drift. *Homologous organs: Same in structural form but perform different functions. Eg. The arm of humans and wings of birds. *Analogous organs: Different structure but perform similar functions. Eg. Wings of birds and wings of insects.
