Regarding the nature of natural selection, which of the following is NOT an accurate statement? Group of answer choices natural selection can and does produce features that are less than perfect adaptations natural selection operates as a systematic, non-progressive mechanism natural selection acts on the phenotypes of individuals, but evolution occurs with changes in allele frequencies in populations populations evolve traits by natural selection in anticipation of future environmental changes all of the above are accurate

Regarding the nature of natural selection, which of the following is NOT an accurate statement? (Select one or more as appropriate) Populations evolve traits by natural selection that will be useful for future environmental changes. Natural selection acts on the phenotypes of individuals, but evolution occurs with changes in allele frequencies in populations. Natural selection can and does produce features that are less than perfect adaptations. Natural selection operates as a systematic, nonprogressive mechanism.
