Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Process by which organisms change over time as those traits best suited to an environment pass their traits to the next generation.
A
acquired traits
B
natural selection
C
adaptation
D
unconformity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Evolution: Evolution consists of changes in the heritable traits of a population of organisms as successive generations replace one another.

Detailed explanation-4: -An adaptation is any heritable trait that helps an organism, such as a plant or animal, survive and reproduce in its environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Natural selection is a process where organisms with beneficial and advantageous traits survive better than others. As generations pass, the species will have many organisms that have that advantageous trait.
