The story of the giraffe helps us see how mutations can lead to changes in __________ _______________

• extinction

• genetic drift

• allele frequencies

• migration

Why are advantageous or beneficial traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

• Because those traits make them more likely to survive and reproduce.

• Because those traits come from dominant alleles.
