More of the turtles’ ancestors who acted in this way survived to reproduce, passing this behavioral trait to their offspring.
The baby turtles are genetically identical, so they behave the same way.
Turtles are not capable of evolving, so they repeat the same behaviors generation after generation.
The baby turtles’ ancestors who learned to behave this way taught the behaviors to their offspring
Rate this question:
All genetic material comes from one parent.
Only some of the genetic material comes from one parent.
