Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Traits that perform a similar function but arise from different ancestral traits are called: Heritable traits.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
Detailed explanation-3: -No, they have slightly different genetic info.
Detailed explanation-4: -Variation and Inheritance Members of any given species are seldom exactly the same, either inside or outside.
