Answer:

An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. Without mutation, evolution could not occur.

The theory of organic evolution, developed by Charles Darwin in the mid-1800s, revolutionized taxonomy. Thus, modern taxonomists who study plants or animals do not merely name and catalog species, they also try to construct evolutionary trees showing the relationships of different species

The transition from a child to an adult is caused by changes in the level of some hormones in the body.

In males, there is an increase in the production of testosterone hormone among many other hormones.

Both progesterone and testosterone are responsible for the development of physical features in females and males respectively.
