Charles Darwin’s theory of
evolution by natural selection?

population adapt to their environment
b. Most species in nature change when
humans select which individuals to breed
c. Species that have favorable traits live
longer and pass those traits on to offspring
d. Animal populations change in appearance
mostly due to favorable mutations in DNA

Which of the statements does not
25
accurately describe natural
selection:
f.
Organisms that are best adapted for their
environment live longer and produce more
offspring
g. Humans select organisms with desirable traits to
interbreed and pass those traits to the next
generation
h. Organisms which have certain traits that help
them survive are more likely to pass those traits
onto their offspring
j. It is when nature selects traits that will most help
an organism survive and reproduce in its
environment
