The offspring of better-adapted individuals are expected to make up a larger proportion of the next generation. The most likely explanation is a. mutations and nonrandom mating. b. gene flow and genetic drift. c. mutations and natural selection. d. mutations and genetic drift.

Step 1
Step 1: Offspring of better-adapted individuals are expected to make up a larger proportion of the next generation because they have undergone natural selection, where positive genes that help in survival and reproduction are passed on to the next generation. Show more…
