ring a study session about evolution one of your fellow students remarks The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves its offspring inherited longer necks as a result Which statement is most likely to be helpful in correcting this student s misconception D Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance Only favorable adaptations have survival value Characteristics acquired during an organism s life are generally not passed on through genes If the giraffes did not have to compete with each other longer necks would not have been passed on to the next generation Spontaneous mutations can result in the appearance of new traits
