All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of
Norma-Jean [14]
All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of beneficial DNA mutations.

Beneficial genetic (DNA) mutations are result in individuals with special characteristics that allow them to survive better in the environment so they pass their genes to the next generation.

Here's a fictional example I made just for you!: Lets say you have an alien species called Hibas. They are jelly blobs that float around, don't move, and open their mouths to capture neon shrimps that happen to swim into their mouths. But one day a certain Hiba developed some muscles through a genetic mutation. It was able to "wiggle" through the water and steer itself instead of floating around. This allowed it to eat more neon shrimp than the other Hibas, so it grew faster and was able to reproduce faster. It's kids also had muscles and had an advantage so they reproduced faster then the other Hibas. Eventually the whole Hiba species started to have muscles because the ones that didn't weren't able to compete and did not survive as well. 
The reason that most of the Hibas developed muscles was because one of them had a mutation that allowed it to have muscles. This was a BENEFICIAL mutation that allowed it to SURVIVE BETTER.

7. Why is it impossible for a parent with type AB blood to have a baby with type O blood?
maxonik [38]

Answer: This is because a parent with type AB blood has both A and B antigens therefore, the child must inherit either A or B antigen from the parent.

Explanation: In ABO blood type, blood types are classified on the basis of the antigens present in the red blood cells. There are two types of antigens: A and B antigens.

A blood type is so named because it has A antigens, B blood type has B antigens, AB blood type has both A and B antigens while O blood type has no antigens.

Each of these blood types is controlled by two alleles, and children inherit one allele from each parent. If a parent has AB blood type, none of his offsprings will have O blood type because each offspring must inherit either antigen A or B from this parent.
