question 9
genetic inheritance due to common ancestry is called
homology.
analogy.
natural selection.
descent with modification.

Explanation:

Homology refers to similarity in characteristics resulting from common ancestry in terms of genetic inheritance. Analogy is similarity due to convergent evolution, not common ancestry. Natural - selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce. Descent with modification is the idea that species change over time and are related by common ancestry, but the specific term for genetic inheritance due to common ancestry is homology.

Answer:

A. homology
