|
|
The organism is physically stronger than organisms of a different species.
|
|
|
The organism is better able to survive and pass on traits to offspring than competing organisms.
|
|
|
The organism is a member of a population in which every member survives without competing.

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the best description of an organism that is fit for natural selection? The organism is physically stronger than competing organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down allow organisms to adapt to the environment better than other organisms of the same species. This enables better survival and reproduction compared with other members of the species, leading to evolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because the primary goal of all organisms is to reproduce, or to pass their DNA onto offspring, fitness is defined as the ability to reproduce and create viable offspring.
Detailed explanation-5: -Adaptation: The adjustment or changes in behavior, physiology, and structure of an organism to become more suited to an environment.
