Question

Which of the following shows natural selection?Select one:a.A horse's parents were racers. The fastest horses are bred to produce the fastest offspring.b.Some tuna live in the Pacific Ocean. They are fast swimmers so they are likely to survive and pass on their genes.c.Some trees produce apples for baking. Seeds from the largest apples are kept to produce the next generation of trees.d.Certain rabbits are raised for fur. Rabbits with soft fur are bred with other rabbits with soft fur. They eat grain and vegetables.

Answer 1

Natural selection is the process in which some organisms that show better adaptation to the environment are more likely to produce an offspring. In the case of the exercise, the answer is:

b. Some tuna live in the Pacific Ocean. They are fast, so they are likely to survive and pass on their genes.

It means that as they are better adapted to that environment due to the fact they are fast swimmers, they are likely not only to survive, but to pass their genes and produce offsprings.
