Which of the following is NOT a premise of Darwin's theory of natural selection? Members of populations show variation in heritable traits. Traits which improve survival will increase in frequency over generations Organisms that possess advantageous traits have a decreased chance of producing offspring Some traits offer a better chance to survive and reproduce.

Which of the following is NOT an essential component of Darwin's theory of natural selection? More offspring are produced than the environment can support Natural selection results in a population that is adapted to its environment Not all individuals survive and reproduce Use or disuse of a structure causes changes that are passed on to the next generation Heritable variation exists In populations
