Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adaptive genes are those that provide a survival advantage to individuals who possess them in a particular environment. Through natural selection, individuals with these genes are more likely to survive and pass on these genes to their offspring, resulting in the spread of these advantageous genes in the population over time. Emotive, passive, and aggressive genes do not necessarily confer a survival advantage and therefore may not necessarily become more widespread through natural selection.
