Answer:

Descent with modification

Explanation:

We define evolution as descent with modification from a common ancestor.

Evolution only occurs when there is a change in gene frequency within a population over time. These genetic differences are hereditary and can be passed on to the next generation - which is what really matters in evolution: long-term change. In this process, the new generations are better suited to their environment than the first generation because of descent with genetic modification.

Which pedigree symbol is used to represent a female carrier of a recessive X-linked trait?
xeze [42]
The answer is a half-filled circle. 

In the pedigree charts, squares present males and circles present females. If a female is healthy, the circle is empty (white). If a female is affected with a trait, the circle is filled-in (usually black). However, if a female is a carrier of a disease, which means that one allele is dominant and one is recessive, then the circle is half-filled.
