Question

Organisms with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce than organisms without the advantageous adaptations. This phenomenon is known as natural selection. In order for natural selection to occur,
A.
one population must become extinct so another can be created.
B.
there must be more male organisms than female organisms.
C.
all of the organisms within a population must be exactly the same.
D.
organisms within a population must have some genetic variation.

Answer 1

D

B makes no sense
C makes so sense as variation causes natural selection so if they were all the same natural selection wouldnt happen
A isnt right

the answer is D as the organisms must have some variation in order to be different enough and less/more well adapted to their habitat in order for the less well adapted ones to die- and the more well adapted ones to live and pass on advantageous alleles/genes
