Which of the following statements explains the theory of natural selection?
- There is no struggle for existence
-
New species get better adaptation
- The weaker offspring are eliminated
- Unused structures disappear later
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Natural selection is also known as "survival of the fittest".The theory explains how populations adapt and evolve through the process of organisms with better adaptations surviving and reproducing more successfully. It explains how populations change over time. Organisms with traits that are better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to their offspring.
The statement that "organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their genes" better explains the theory of natural selection.
