Evolution by natural selection is founded on what basic idea? Only traits that will help an individual organism survive will be passed down to future generations. Random genetic mutations that help a species survive will be more likely to be passed to future generations. Only the biggest, strongest, fastest, or smartest creatures survive. Traits that animals acquire over their life will be taught to future generations.

Natural selection is the idea that…a. the fittest organisms will surviveb. individual organisms that are best suited to their environment will leave most offspring and their genes will spread through the population in future generationsc. gene frequencies change through timed. species change through timee. traits that are best suited to the environment will be favoured in individuals

Natural selection is best described as the ability to generate new traits that better suit the species. increasing the perfection of a species. working on the existing variation of traits to favor those better suited to the organism's environment. causing the death of a significant proportion of the population. driving the species toward an eventual endpoint in which the species possesses the best possible adaptations for that particular environment.

Natural selection is a process in which organisms that are better suited to a certain set of environmental conditions tend to survive and reproduce more often than others. This leads to evolution as
