Question

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism by which _________.
a. advantageous traits are eliminated in a population
b. organisms adapt to climatic changes
c. inherited traits pass consistently through generations
d. organisms choose which traits to look for in their offspring
e. advantageous traits become more common in a population

Answer 1

Natural selection results in (e) advantageous traits becoming more common in a population.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is E. Advantageous traits become more common in a population.

Explanation:

Natural selection establishes that the conditions of an environment favor or hinder the reproduction of living organisms according to their peculiarities. Natural selection was proposed by Darwin as a means to explain biological evolution, which is divided into three premises:

1-) The trait subject to selection must be inheritable.

2-) There must be trait variability among individuals in a population.

3-) The variability of the trait must give rise to differences in survival or reproductive success, making some characteristics of new appearance can be extended in the population (advantageous traits become more common in a population).
