![During 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?
Spontaneous mutations can result in the appearance of new traits.
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.
Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance.](https://media.kunduz.com/media/sug-question/raw/84247908-1657017609.933789.jpeg?w=256)
