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

Step 1
the fittest organisms will survive - This statement is partially correct, as natural selection does favor the survival of the fittest organisms. However, it does not encompass the entire concept of natural selection. b. individual organisms that are best suited Show more…

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 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.

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
