Question

_________ is the process through which better-adapted organisms grow and reproduce more offspring in a population.

  1. Natural selection
  2. Sexual reproduction
  3. Genetic drift
  4. Gene flow

hintHint:

Natural Selection.

The correct answer is: Natural selection


    • Natural selection is the process in which better adapted organisms grow and reproduce more off spring in a population. 
    • 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.
