DNA sequence can be altered by the process called as mutation. Mutation of DNA sequence can have a positive or negative effect on an organism and it entirely depends on the point and type of mutation that has occurred on the DNA sequences.
Mutations can be point mutation where single nucleotide base gets altered or deletion where a base pair gets deleted from the DNA sequences and many more. Mutation has driven the evolution of the organism.
Answer:
For part 1
The statement to correcting the student's misconception is that 'ACQUIRED TRAITS CANNOT BE INHERITED'
For part 2
The statement is True - Traits acquired during lifetime ARE NOT passed on through genes.
Explanation:
For part 1 and 2
The appearance of an organism depends on TWO FACTORS:
- inherited traits contained in genes, and
- environment
Therefore, the stretched neck on the giraffe is due to its adapting to the environment so is an ACQUIRED TRAIT, and would NOT alter the gene for "normal neck" present in its chromosome.
So, no matter what evolution recognizes that, 'ACQUIRED TRAITS CANNOT BE INHERITED' in the giraffe offsprings but traits contained only in the genes.
