Question

Which of the following BEST describes the theory of natural selection

-Each species produces many more offspring than can survive long enough to reproduce.

-The offspring that do survive contain genes that are inherited from the parents.

-Some individuals have genes that increase their chances for survival and reproduction. These individuals are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes, causing their genes to become more common in the next generation.

-Living organisms change over time.

-There is a struggle for existence among the members of a population.

-There is variation among the members of a species. Some of this variation is genetically determined and so can be passed on to future generations.
-The genetic make-up of a population gradually changes from one generation to the next.

Answer 1

Some individuals have genes that increase their chances for survival and reproduction. These individuals are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes, causing their genes to become more common in the next generation.

Answer 2

natural selection -the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring

Answer 3

thanks you for explaining

Answer 4

Natural selection is a theory which basically states that the organisms who have traits which make them better equipped to survive in their environment will go on to reproduce and populate the earth. The organisms which are not as “fit” will die out. Natural selection is the driving force behind Darwin’s theory of evolution.
