Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
“Natural selection occurs over time within an ecosystem.” Which best explains this statement?
A
Organisms must produce food in order to continue their species.
B
Organisms must eat other organisms in order to reduce the population.
C
Plants and animals never compete with each other for available resources.
D
Environmental changes choose which organisms live to produce the next generation.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Individuals with the most favorable traits survive and reproduce’

Detailed explanation-3: -Changing rainfall and drought patterns likely play a key role in shaping natural selection among plants and animals in the wild, according to a study published today involving UC Berkeley scientists.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection explains how genetic traits of a species may change over time. This may lead to speciation, the formation of a distinct new species.
