Question

question 1 of 10
which best summarizes the concept of natural selection?
a. mutations make organisms more fit.
b. nature selects the organisms with the most mutations.
c. an organism will always mutate to survive.
d. the fittest organisms are selected for.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process where nature (the environment) selects organisms that are better adapted (more fit) to survive and reproduce. Option B aligns with this concept. Option A is incorrect because not all mutations make organisms more fit. Option C is wrong as having the most mutations doesn't necessarily mean being selected. Option D is inaccurate as it's not about always mutating to survive but being selected due to existing traits (which can be from mutations) that make an organism fit.

Answer:

B. Nature selects the organisms with the most mutations.
