What are the conditions required for natural selection? Check all that apply.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The conditions for natural selection are:

overproduction of offspring
variation among organisms in a population
favorable adaptations selected by nature

Explanation:

Natural selection is the continuous process of reproduction and survival that is caused by the contrast and differences due to phenotype.
Overproduction of species creates the competition and only the one survived through the natural selection grows to the next generation.
Similarly variations in the phenotypic organization of species, their adaptation process etc causes the natural selection.
Natural selection is the gateway for the evolution.
