The process of gradual change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations is called
A
evolution
B
adaptation
C
speciation
D
selective breeding
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution: Evolution consists of changes in the heritable traits of a population of organisms as successive generations replace one another. It is populations of organisms that evolve, not individual organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evolution is defined as the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. When living organisms reproduce, they pass on to their progeny a collection of traits.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evolution is the process by which populations of organisms change over generations. Genetic variations underlie these changes.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biology, evolution is the change in heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes, which are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.
