Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural selection requires genetic variation in a population so that some individuals are better adapted to their environment than others. These individuals will have differential reproductive success, meaning they are more likely to survive and pass on their advantageous traits to their offspring. Over time, this can result in descent with modification, as the population evolves to better suit its environment. Therefore, all three options (A, B, and C) are true of natural selection.
