Which one of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices Natural selection works on non-heritable traits. Organisms only evolve structures that they need. Individuals evolve through natural selection. None of the statements are true. Natural selection works on variation already present in a population.

Which statements about natural selection are true? 1. It results in decreased genetic variation because it eliminates deleterious mutations and favors beneficial ones that sweep through a population, given enough time. 2. It results in increased genetic variation whenever it acts on a population. 3. It can either increase or decrease genetic variation. 4. It acts only on genotypes, not phenotypes. 5. It can have an evolutionary effect on phenotypes only if phenotypes are heritable. 6. It is the only thing that can cause changes in allele frequencies in a population. 7. It can be defined as changes in allele frequencies in a population. 8. If natural selection acts, but several generations later the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium again, then natural selection led to no evolution in the population.
