Question

The concept sudden genetic change, which breeds true in an organism is visualized as
A. Natural Selection
B. Inheritance of Acquired Characters
C. Mutation
D.Independent assortment

Answer 1

The sudden genetic changes are adapted by a species in compliance with the surrounding environment for its survival. This may be because of the predators or they can change and adapt themselves to the external conditions.

Complete answer:
If we study about evolution, then we will know that the earlier species have adapted themselves in order to survive in the changing environments. The changes which occur in the species are related either to safety from predators or to food requirements of the organism. The organisms which have evolved themselves in order to survive are favored by nature and they will survive in the future but the species who fail to adapt themselves will eventually go extinct. This process by which nature selects the evolved species is called the natural selection and it is a part of sudden genetic changes.
Now if these changes are acquired by the future generations also then we can say that this is the inheritance of the acquired character. Also, the changes which a species has to make to itself in order to survive are known as Mutation and they help in adapting to the changing environment and conditions.
The last option is one of the laws which was given by Mendel during his pea experiment. This states that any character of a species is independently passed on from the parents to the offspring.

Therefore, the term for sudden genetic changes is the Option C, which is mutation.

Note:
The mutation occurring naturally to adapt to conditions are not dangerous and they are helpful for the species but there are certain cases when the copying of the genetic material is not done properly by the cell then it may give rise to mutation which will either be good or bad for health. There is a certain man-made phenomenon also which can induce mutations.
