Four general conditions necessary for natural selection to occur<span> are: A. More organisms are born than can survive. B. Organisms vary in their characteristics, even within a species. D. Differences in reproduction and survival are due to variation among organisms.</span>
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
D) frequently, and sometimes rapidly
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The hypothesis that the Grants have been testing was about the natural selection shaping the beaks of different bird populations.
- <em><u>The Grants documented that natural selection takes place in the wild finch population frequently, and sometimes rapidly.
</u></em>
- The Grants' work showed that variation within a species increases the likelihood of the species' adapting to and surviving environmental change.
