Answer: B. Poorly adapted individuals never produce offspring

Explanation:

Natural selection is a theory that states organisms adapts to its environment due to differences in their phenotypes. So, <u>individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce</u>. It is a key mechanism of evolution, which is the change in traits of a population over generations.

<u>Populations respond to natural selection if they contain heritable variation </u>among them, wich means that individuals differ in the traits they transmit to their offspring.

Because of the environmental selection pressures, individuals produce more offspring than their environment can support. <u>The pressure determines which individuals will survive and reproduce</u>, while others will die because of predation or diseases. So, natural selection is based on the observations of adapted individuals.

Snapdragons are a type of flower. When red snapdragons are crossed with white snapdragons the resulting flowers are all pink. A
Akimi4 [234]

There is a 50% probability that the flowers of a plant with pink flowers parents will have pink flowers due to incomplete dominance.

The genotypes and phenotypes that we will employ to address this issue are as follows:

RR - Red

RW - Pink

WW -  White

They would have the RW genotype as the first parent plant is pink. They would have the WW genotype because the other parent is white. When the Pink flower parents are crossed, the children that might be expected from this cross

RW x RW

The progeny will be : 1 RR (Red), 2 RW (Pink) and 1 WW (White)

This shows that there is a 50% probability that the progeny will have the RW genotype and thus the pink phenotype. Additionally, we can observe that there is a 25% likelihood that the progeny will have the WW and RR genotype and the white and Red phenotype.
