(D) Evolution is defined as the change in the frequency of genes in a population over several generations. This is a correct statement.Traits that are not inherited (acquired traits) do not cause evolution because they are not passed on to the next generation. This is a correct statement.Low weight parents can have heavy weight progeny due to variations in genetic makeup or environmental factors affecting growth. This is a correct statement.Reduction in weight due to starvation is an acquired trait caused by environmental factors (lack of food). It is not genetically controlled and will not be inherited by the offspring. Therefore,this statement is incorrect.
