Herencia

The video explains the distinction between genetic characteristics, which are inherited from parents, and acquired characteristics, which develop during an individual's life and are not passed to offspring. It highlights the role of heredity as a crucial component in the evolutionary process.

What is the primary difference between DNA and acquired characteristics?

• DNA is inherited, while acquired characteristics are not.

• DNA changes during an individual's life, while acquired characteristics do not.

• Acquired characteristics are inherited, while DNA is not.

• Both DNA and acquired characteristics are inherited.

Which of the following is true about acquired characteristics?

• They are fundamental to the process of evolution.

• They are passed down from parents to offspring.

• They are a part of the DNA structure.

• They develop during an individual's lifetime.

How do acquired characteristics arise?

• During the life of an individual.

• By natural selection.

• Through genetic inheritance.

• From the DNA of the parents.

Why is heredity considered a fundamental part of evolution?

• Because it involves changes during an individual's life.

• Because it ensures acquired characteristics are passed on.

• Because it allows genetic traits to be inherited by offspring.

• Because it prevents any changes in DNA.

Which process is closely linked with heredity?

• Evolution

• Photosynthesis

• Metabolism

• Respiration
