1.4 Evolution Question 5 (1 point) Charles Darwin described a mechanism by which evolution could occur, called natural selection. Elements of this process include which of the following? there is variation within a population of individuals. the variation must be heritable (passed from one generation to the next) the biggest and strongest variants in the population will survive and reproduce. those variants best adapted to the environment will have greater reproductive success; their traits will contribute disproportionately to the next generation.

Biological evolution can be described as 1) predesigned change in the genetic characteristics of a population of organisms over time. 2) sudden shifts in the genetic characteristics of an individual in a population. 3) a change in the genetic characteristics of a population of organisms over time. 4) isolation of populations due to geologic forces. 5) changes in the Earth's climate and movement of land masses over time

All the following support the theory of evolution and natural selection EXCEPT: Fossil record showing clear relationship between living and extinct animals Selective breeding of domesticated animals and plants: Acquired characteristics that are obtained through an action and subsequently passed down to the next generation:
