- The environment needs to change in order to natural selection to occur.
Reason:
Because, Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.
2. Population has some genetic variations.
Reason:
Genetic variation is essential for natural selection because natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by:
mutation and random mating between organisms
3. Nature select organism with specific traits to survive and reproduce.
Reason:
According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
Answer: See below
Explanation:
There should be another answer that can be chosen: the rat’s chemical receptors detect chemicals in the fruit that alert the rat to possible danger. Sensory receptors in the rat's whiskers respond to input about the texture of the fruit, maybe it's slimy or rancid, if if it was another factor such as the environment, it wouldn't have approached the fruit in the first place.
I think it is from the Paleozoic era
