    (1) DNA in muscle cells

    (2) base sequences in liver cells

    (3) genes in an egg cell

    (4) number of chromosomes in a fetal bone cell

    Answer:

    (3) genes in an egg cell

    Explanation:

    Evolution is the change in characteristics of a species which it develops over the time. These changes can be a result of natural selection, genetic drift, founder effect etc. They are passed from one generation to another hence the alleles for them get fixed in the population.

    For evolution to occur, change should take place in germ cells. Germ cells are the one which fuse to form the organisms of next generation. If there is a change in their genes, it would also appear in next generation, unlike changes in genes of somatic cells. Since egg cell is a germ cell it is the correct answer.
