What are the conditions required for natural selection? Check all that apply. overproduction of offspringsame traits among all organisms in a populationvariation among organisms in a populationfavorable adaptations selected by natureunfavorable adaptations passed on to offspring in larger numbersfavorable adaptations building in population over time

Natural selection requires more offspring to be produced than can survive, so individuals compete for limited resources. A population must also have variation in traits, and individuals with favorable adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over generations, those favorable adaptations become more common in the population. Thus, overproduction, variation, selection of favorable adaptations, and their buildup over time are correct; same traits and increased inheritance of unfavorable adaptations are not.
