The change over time in populations of related species.
A
biological evolution
B
transition
C
variation
D
adaptation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. Evolutionary change is the heritable change in populations and species over time, due to mechanisms such as natural selection, random genetic drift, and sexual selection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biological evolution refers to the cumulative changes that occur in a population over time. These changes are produced at the genetic level as organisms’ genes mutate and/or recombine in different ways during reproduction and are passed on to future generations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evolution is a process that results in changes in the genetic material of a population over time. Evolution reflects the adaptations of organisms to their changing environments and can result in altered genes, novel traits, and new species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Over time, as generations of individuals with the trait continue to reproduce, the advantageous trait becomes increasingly common in a population, making the population different than an ancestral one. Sometimes the population becomes so different that it is considered a new species.

Detailed explanation-5: -Evolution is the process by which species adapt over time in response to their changing environment.
