**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Evolution**: Evolution is a continuous process that leads to gradual changes in living organisms over long periods. It acts on variations within populations, which are groups of individuals of the same species. 2. **Defining Populations and Variations**: Within a population, individuals are not identical; they exhibit variations in characteristics. These variations are crucial for the process of evolution, as they provide the raw material for natural selection. 3. **Molecular vs. Morphological Structures**: The statement compares the stability of molecular structures (like DNA) to morphological structures (like body parts). Molecular structures refer to the genetic material, primarily DNA, while morphological structures pertain to the physical characteristics of organisms. ...
