Question

13 multiple choice 1 point why is natural selection often described as \survival of the fittest\? individuals with the best adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce organisms compete for survival in identical ways only the strongest individuals survive fitness means physical strength

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process where organisms with favorable traits (best adaptations) are more likely to survive and pass on their genes. "Survival of the fittest" refers to these well - adapted individuals. The option "Organisms compete for survival in identical ways" is incorrect as competition methods vary. "Only the strongest individuals survive" is wrong because 'fittest' in evolution isn't just physical strength. "Fitness means physical strength" is also incorrect; in evolution, fitness is about reproductive success and adaptation.

Answer:

Individuals with the best adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce.
