Q

Which of these statements is true about adaptive evolution:

A. Adaptive evolution is a permanent change in a trait.

B. Adaptive evolution is a temporary change in a trait.

C. Adaptive evolution is a fluctuating change in a trait.

A

Answer: C. Adaptive evolution is a fluctuating change in a trait.

As a result of our ever changing environment, adaptive evolution leads to a fluctuating change in traits. With evolution leading to changes in organic matter over time, adaptive evolution results from the body’s need to survive or adapt to certain changes in the environment. There is always a constant need to adapt and when evolutionary changes occur as a result of such adaptations, such changes are bound to fluctuate as the environment will most likely change again and the body will be left with the task of adapting to such change.
