Question
why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?
because they come from recessive alleles.
because they come from dominant alleles.
because they are more likely to survive and reproduce
because the trait is an acquired phenotype.
According to the theory of natural selection, organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. This increases the chance of passing these traits to their offspring. Traits from recessive or dominant alleles don't directly explain why they are passed more (as it depends on many factors beyond just allele type). Acquired phenotypes (like a bodybuilder's muscles) aren't passed genetically. But the survival and reproduction advantage (as in the orange - colored option) is a key principle in genetics and evolution for trait inheritance.
