Question

guide
how does nature \select\ phenotypes, such as
bird beaks? check all correct explanations.
organisms can choose the genes that will
make them most successful.
the environment influences which alleles an
organism can pass on to its offspring.
traits that suit the environment enable an
organism to reproduce in greater numbers.
traits that do not suit an environment make it
harder for an organism to stay live and
reproduce.
done

Explanation:

• Organisms cannot choose genes. Genes are inherited. So the first option is wrong.
• The environment does not influence which alleles are passed on (that's genetic inheritance). But it does act on phenotypes. So the second option is wrong.
• Traits that suit the environment (adaptive traits) lead to more reproduction (natural selection). So the third option is correct.
• Traits that don't suit the environment lead to less survival and reproduction (natural selection). So the fourth option is correct.

Answer:

Third option: Traits that suit the environment enable an organism to reproduce in greater numbers.
Fourth option: Traits that do not suit an environment make it harder for an organism to stay live and reproduce.
