During a study session about evolution, one of your fellow students remarked “The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; its offspring inherited longer necks as a result.” Which statement is MOST likely to be helpful in correcting this student’s misconception? Why? *       No answer Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance. Spontaneous mutations can result in the appearance of new traits. Only favorable adaptations have survival value. Characteristics acquired during an organism’s life are generally not passed on through genes.

Evolutionary adaptations

Evolutionary adaptation is the process through which organisms adapt or adjust to their surroundings to increase the chances of survival, mating, and reproduction. An organism's behavior, physiology, and structure are adjusted or changed to make it more suited to its environment.
