Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection
... Natural selection does not lead to organisms perfectly adapted to their environment because: 1. Environments can change more quickly than natural selection can adapt organisms to them. 2. All possible alleles are not produced by mutation. 3. There is not always a single optimum adaptation for an ...
