Question
"Survival Of the Fittest" means?
- The fastest will survive.
- The strongest will survive.
- The smartest will survive.
- The best adapted will survive.
Hint:
Natural selection means survival of the fittest.
The correct answer is: The best adapted will survive.
Natural selection means ‘survival of the fittest.’ The ‘fittest’ will have a selective advantage and will be more likely to produce offspring than the rest. This means that the variations of a species that are able to adapt to their environment the most will proliferate.
Hence, the best adapted will survive.
