suppose a small number of geese are born with a genetic mutation that makes them spend more time caring for their eggs. as a result, more chicks hatch from these eggs that then survive to reproduce themselves. according to the principle of natural selection, which of the following would be the likely result?
other genetic mutations would start occurring at a faster rate.
the genetically inherited behaviour would become less common after many generations.
the genetically inherited behaviour would become more common after many generations.
the rate of genetic mutations would slow drastically.

Explanation:

Natural selection favors traits that increase an organism's fitness (ability to survive and reproduce). Geese with the mutation have more surviving offspring. These offspring inherit the mutation. Over generations, traits that enhance survival and reproduction become more common in the population.

Answer:

The genetically inherited behaviour would become more common after many generations.
