Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When individuals with certain inherited traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with less favorable traits, ____ occurs.
A
genetic selection
B
natural selection
C
favored survival
D
struggle for existence
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Natural selection explains how organisms in a population develop traits that allow them to survive and reproduce. Natural selection means that traits that offer an advantage will most likely be passed on to offspring; individuals with those traits have a better chance of surviving.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection occurs when individuals with certain genotypes are more likely than individuals with other genotypes to survive and reproduce, and thus to pass on their alleles to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The process by which individuals with certain inherited traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those who don’t have those traits is called natural selection. Natural selection is a process that was explained by the famous naturalist, Charles Darwin.

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.
