Question

select which statements are a part of natural selection.
□ organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive
□ organisms better adapted to their environment tend to reproduce and increase in number
□ organisms pass on their traits to succeeding generations.
□ over time, favorable traits become more common in a population
done

Explanation:

Natural selection involves organisms with favorable adaptations surviving (since they can cope with the environment), reproducing (to pass on traits), passing traits to offspring (heredity of beneficial traits), and over time, favorable traits becoming more common as the adapted organisms thrive. All these statements align with the principles of natural selection.

Answer:

• $\square$ organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive (checked)
• $\square$ organisms better adapted to their environment tend to reproduce and increase in number (checked)
• $\square$ organisms pass on their traits to succeeding generations. (checked)
• $\square$ over time, favorable traits become more common in a population (checked)

(Note: In a typical interface, you would check all these boxes as they all describe aspects of natural selection. The first statement is about survival of the fittest, the second about reproductive success of the adapted, the third about heredity of traits, and the fourth about the long - term result of favorable traits accumulating in the population.)
