A sea anemone releases eggs into the water at the same time nearby sea anemones are releasing sperm into the water, so many of the resulting zygotes will be genetically diverse both from the processes of meiosis and from random sexual recombination. In this scenario, which is an example of natural selection?
a. One sea anemone embryo produced a protein that gave off an odor that repelled predators and inhibited the growth of other embryonic sea anemones close by.
b. Sea anemone embryos randomly drift to the locations where they will grow. Some get lucky with a perfect spot for growth; others are unlucky and will fail to thrive.
c. Most sea anemone embryos will be randomly eaten by fish.
d. All of the provided scenarios are examples of natural selection.
e. None of the provided scenarios fit with the theory of natural selection.
