Step 1
This increases the chances of beneficial traits being passed on to the next generation, as there is a higher probability that at least some of the offspring will inherit these traits. ** Show more…

1. Which statement describes how evolution through natural selection works? A. Individuals that make an effort to adapt to their environment produce more offspring, consequently improving the phenotypes of the next generation. B. Those individuals that develop mutations during their lives are more likely to survive and produce viable offspring, thus passing on their mutations to offspring. C. Only the strongest individuals survive to reproduce, which removes the weakest individuals and improves the population with each successive generation. D. Individuals with successful phenotypes have an increased chance of producing viable offspring, which changes the population’s genetic structure between generations.
