Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the process called in which organisms that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well-adapted organisms do? (section 3)
A
species separation
B
genetic change
C
genetic resistance
D
natural selection
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: -Survival of the fittest: A term that refers to the survival of only those organisms best able (fittest) to obtain and utilize resources, resulting in the evolution of organisms that are best adapted to the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection is the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, compared to other members of the same species.
