Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?
A
Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
B
Because they come from dominant alleles.
C
Because they come from recessive alleles.
D
Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Individuals with adaptive traits-traits that give them some advantage-are more likely to survive and reproduce. These individuals then pass the adaptive traits on to their offspring. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The individuals with the helpful traits will leave more offspring in the next generation than their peers, since the traits make them more effective at surviving and reproducing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Selection: Survival and Reproduction Because resources are limited, more organisms are born than can survive: some individuals will be more successful at finding food, mating or avoiding predators and will have a better chance to thrive, reproduce, and pass on, their DNA.

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.
