When do genetic changes occur in population of organisms?

F.when the organisms become extinct
G.when the organisms produce offspring
H.when the organisms find a new food source
I.when the organisms interact with another species

I. when the organisms interact with another species

H. when the organisms find a new food source. Because let's face it, nothing motivates genetic changes like the promise of a delicious meal!

Genetic changes can occur in a population of organisms when the organisms produce offspring (Option G) and when they interact with another species (Option I). These events provide opportunities for genetic variations to arise through mutation, recombination, and natural selection. However, genetic changes do not occur when the organisms become extinct (Option F) or when they find a new food source (Option H) as these events do not directly influence the genetic makeup of a population.

The correct answer is G: when the organisms produce offspring. Genetic changes occur in a population of organisms through the process of reproduction. During reproduction, genetic material is passed from parent organisms to their offspring, resulting in new combinations of genes. This process can lead to genetic variations within a population. Genetic changes can also occur due to other factors such as mutations or genetic recombination during reproduction. However, the primary way in which genetic changes are introduced into a population is through the production of offspring.
