The question is asking for an explanation of the concept of 'descent with modification from a common ancestor,' which is often related to evolutionary biology and explains how species evolve from shared ancestors while undergoing changes over generations.
Answer
Species change over time and pass on traits from generation to generation, originating from a shared ancestor.
Descent with modification from a common ancestor means that species change over time and pass on traits from generation to generation, and these species originate from a shared ancestor.

This concept, central to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, explains how species evolve through the inheritance of traits and gradual changes over generations.
