Natural selection can be defined as ______. Group of answer choices changes in gene frequencies attributable to chance the accumulation of random mutations the production of more offspring than can survive in a given environment the relationships among all organisms a process in which organisms with certain inherited traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than other individuals

Natural selection refers to that: 1. all individuals survive to reproduce in each generation 2. only the largest and strongest individuals will survive. 3. random mixing of genes results in phenotypes that favor subsequent generations 4. individuals that are best adapted to their environment survive and reproduce, thus contributing most of the genes to the subsequent generation 5. individuals who mutate in response to changes in their environment contribute the majority of genes to the next generation

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
James K.
Natural selection is sometimes described as "survival of the fittest." Which of the following best measures an organism's fitness? a. how many fertile offspring it produces b. how strong it is when pitted against others of its species c. its ability to withstand environmental extremes d. how much food it is able to make or obtain
