Which one of the following statements is not consistent with Darwin's mechanism of natural selection? A) Individuals in a population exhibit variations, some of which are heritable. B) Individual organisms exhibit genetic change during their lifespans to better fit the environment. C) Factors in the environment result in some organisms with better reproductive success than others. D) Natural selection is based in part on the overproduction of offspring. E) Natural selection can lead to the appearance of new species.

Which of the following is not true of natural selection? (a) natural selection acts to preserve favorable traits and eliminate unfavorable traits (b) the offspring of individuals that are better adapted to the environment will make up a larger proportion of the next generation (c) natural selection directs the course of evolution by preserving the traits acquired during an individual's lifetime (d) natural selection acts on a population's genetic variability, which arises through mutation (e) natural selection may result in changes in allele frequencies in a population
