Select the incorrect statement.

A

Frequency of certain genes in a population change over several generations resulting in evolution

B

Reduction in weight of the organism due to starvation is genetically controlled

C

Low weight parents can have heavy weight progeny

D

Traits which are not inherited over generations do not cause evolution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The weight reduction due to stravation will not change the Dna of the germ cells, because low weight is not a trait is geneticaly controlled or inherited. Thus : low weight weight parents may have heavy weight progeny.
Tarits which are not inherited, i.e., the acquired traits are simply changes in non-reproductive tissues, so cannot be passed on the DNA of germ cells.
Evolution results from change in frequency of gens in a populations over several genarations.
