Question

which statement is accurate about evolution?

mutations are always harmful.
natural selection only eliminates odd individuals.
evolution means that a population never has changes in its genetic frequencies.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Evolution is defined as a change in the gene frequencies of a population over time.
  • Mutations can be neutral or beneficial in some cases, not always harmful.
  • Natural selection acts on traits that affect an organism's fitness, not just "odd" individuals.
  • The statement that evolution means no change in genetic frequencies is the opposite of the correct definition.

Evolution means that a population undergoes changes in its gene frequencies over time.
