The inheritance of small RNAs (sRNAs) is taxonomically widespread. Changing environments alter the production and presence sRNAs in germline, this can theory either increase offspring phenotypic variance as an evolutionary bet-hedging strategy or elicit predictive adaptive responses that fitness. Nevertheless, putative role sRNA systems evolution still debated it currently unclear how selection acts on sRNAs. We outline two strategies - specialist generalist discuss non-adaptive alternatives implications different strategies. Our review suggests natural has been significantly overlooked, potentially leading to misinterpretations causal agents inheritance.
