Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential fertility and mortality are two aspects that are primarily affected by natural selection, which is the process by which organisms adapt to their environment and pass on their advantageous genetic traits to their offspring. This process ultimately leads to the formation of new species, as only those with the most favorable traits survive and reproduce. Therefore, natural selection is the best choice for this question. The other options - mutation, consanguineous mating, and genetic drift - may also affect fertility and mortality, but they do not necessarily involve natural selection.
