natural selection is a process resulting in changes in the genotypes of individuals during their life-time changes in the traits of both individuals during their lifetime and of populations over time. the change in the heritable characteristics of populations over time. the change in the phenotypes of individuals during their lifetime.

Step 1
Natural selection is a fundamental mechanism of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin. It is the process by which certain traits become more or less common in a population due to the traits' impact on the survival and reproduction of the individuals that possess Show more…

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 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
Adi S.
Natural selection is a process where 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 the traits mutate into other traits. organisms with those traits appear less often in the population. the environment changes fast enough to prevent overpopulation. organisms with those traits appear more often in the population. organisms with different traits appear more often.
