Question

complete the statement below. a variation that results in increased fitness is more likely to be passed on... because those individuals will migrate to new populations. because the individual will reproduce asexually. because those individuals are more likely to survive long enough to pass on their variations.

Explanation:

In evolutionary biology, natural selection favors traits (variations) that enhance an organism's fitness (ability to survive and reproduce). Variations increasing fitness make individuals more likely to survive long enough to reproduce and pass on their genes. Migration (first option) doesn't directly explain why the variation is passed on. Asexual reproduction (second option) is just a mode of reproduction and not the key reason here. The third option correctly ties increased fitness to survival and gene - passing.

Answer:

because those individuals are more likely to survive long enough to pass on their variations.
