How are adaptations passed to offspring? Group of answer choices

Adaptations skip generations in organisms. Even if one organism "learns" an adaptation, it will be their "grandchild" organism that gets it.

Adaptations are mostly random, as they are genetic. They are written in the DNA. Changes in genes are random. If a mutation happens and the offspring of two parents has a mutation, sometimes that mutation will help it live.

The parents develop during their lifetime, so their DNA changes, and when they mate, the adaptation and then pass it on to offspring

Parents purposely CHOOSE which adaptations they give to their offspring, because they can choose which half of their genes are going to go into that organism, and predict how it will mix with it's mates genes. it is planned out to ensure species survival. This is especially true in flowering plants.

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.
