Question

Which of the following statements best describes the process that is referred to as "natural selection?"
A)Organisms adapt to their environment because individuals with certain features have an advantage over their competitors. These features make it easier for organisms to get food, allowing them to survive better than those that cannot get as much food.

B)Organisms adapt to their environment because individuals with beneficial mutations have an advantage over their competitors. These beneficial mutations make it easier for organisms to compete for resources and mates, allowing them to spread their genes to more offspring (thereby giving the offspring the selected trait).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others
