What is likely to happen to a parasite if it kills its host?
[ "it thrives", "it mutates", "it dies", "it adapts" ]
C
Some parasites kill their host, but most do not. It’s easy to see why. If a parasite kills its host, the parasite is also likely to die. Instead, parasites usually cause relatively minor damage to their host.

Evolution occurs because of changes in what over time?
[ "genomes", "atoms", "mitochondria", "alleles" ]
D
We now know how variation in traits is inherited. Variation in traits is controlled by different alleles for genes. Alleles, in turn, are passed to gametes and then to offspring. Evolution occurs because of changes in alleles over time. How long a time? That depends on the time scale of evolution you consider.
