Question

value: 6
match the description to the respective conditions required for natural selection.

a. more offspring must be produced than can survive.
b. offspring must have inherited traits from their parents.
c. certain species tend to survive and reproduce more than less successful variants.

1. inherited variation

1. overproduction

1. struggle to survive

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each description and condition:

• For "Inherited Variation (1)", the key is traits inherited from parents. So description b ("Offspring must have inherited traits from their parents") matches 1.
• For "Overproduction (2)", the idea is more offspring than can survive. So description a ("More offspring must be produced than can survive") matches 2.
• For "Struggle to Survive (3)", it's about some variants surviving/reproducing more. So description c ("Certain species tend to survive and reproduce more than less successful variants") matches 3.

Answer:

a - 2, b - 1, c - 3
