Question
complete the sentence to describe the process of evolution. biological evolution occurs over multiple generations as a(n) choose... to its environment.
Biological evolution is a change in the genetic makeup of a population over time. It occurs over multiple generations. Evolution acts on populations, not individual organisms. An individual's traits may change during its lifetime (e.g., through growth or learning), but these are not evolutionary changes. Evolutionary changes are genetic and passed on to offspring. A population is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same area. As a population, over generations, genetic variations can accumulate, and through processes like natural selection, the population can adapt to its environment.
