Which organisms can be more successful in natural selection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Those having traits suitable for their environment
Natural selection favours heritable variations that improve an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment. Such organisms are more likely to obtain resources, avoid dangers, reach reproductive age and leave offspring carrying the favourable variation. Being largest is not automatically advantageous, and organisms that produce no offspring cannot pass traits on. Therefore option A best describes success in natural selection.
