A

Reproduction

28
Q
  1. Life does not arise spontaneously, but has to come only from prior life
A

Reproduction

29
Q
  1. Organismal reproduction demonstrates both heredity and variation
A

Reproduction

30
Q
  1. The transmission of traits from parents to offspring
31
Q
  1. The production of differences among traits
32
Q

A

It is important for evolution to occur over time

33
Q
  1. Provides the fidelity of inheritance in the form of DNA
A

Possession of Genetic Material

34
Q
  1. The genetic code is consistent among living forms, providing strong evidence for a single origin of life
A

Possession of Genetic Material

35
Q
