Question

which of the following is true of darwins theory of natural selection?
a. individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
b. there is no variation in organisms in a population.
c. only a small number of offspring in a population are born.
d. all individuals in a population have the same genetic traits.

Explanation:

Darwin's theory of natural selection states that individuals with favorable traits (adaptations) have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing. This leads to the passing on of these traits to the next generation. Option B is incorrect as there is variation in populations. Option C is wrong because many offspring are born. Option D is false as there are genetic differences among individuals in a population.

Answer:

A. Individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
