Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is B) Advantageous traits become more common in a population.
Theory of natural selection was given by Darwin. This is one of the mechanisms of evolution.
According to this theory, organisms that are better adapted to their environmental conditions survive and increase their population by reproduction. So they pass the advantageous trait to the next generation. In other words, it reflects the survival of the fittest.
Due to this, the advantageous trait becomes more common in the population.
Thus, the correct option is B)
Answer: No
Explanation:
the freezing point of salt water is lower than that of pure water, due to the presence of the salt dissolved in the water
There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
