Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is not a principle of natural selection?
A
More offspring are produced than can survive
B
Resources are limited
C
Adaptations allow some organisms to survived and reproduce better than others
D
Evolution will occur as an organism gets older and learns more
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are four principles at work in evolution-variation, inheritance, selection and time. These are considered the components of the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection.

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: -Therefore, we see that the only condition listed here that is not necessary for natural selection to occur is C. The trait must be the result of a mutation.

Detailed explanation-4: -These principles are organized under four main themes: variation, selection, connectivity, and eco-evolutionary dynamics.
