Question

The variation in the natural selection is on, it is due to the random mutations. What does this imply about the natural selection?

  1. Natural selection is a random process  
  2. Natural selection is nevertheless a directed process. The likelihood one variant will be favoured in a given environment over another is predictable, even if the origin is not  
  3. Natural selection is a hypothetical process  
  4. None of the above  

The correct answer is: Natural selection is nevertheless a directed process. The likelihood one variant will be favoured in a given environment over another is predictable, even if the origin is not


    The variations of the natural selection are quite common. It is due to the random mutations. Except this, the natural selection is nevertheless is a directed process.
    The one liklihood one variant will be favoured in a given environment over another is predictable but their origin is uncertain and unpredictable
