Question 8 • SLPS-2001310-Earth/Space B -GF
Natural selection occurs when individuals with inherited traits that improve survival or reproduction leave more offspring. In choice A, some insects survive temperature changes and pass their traits to their offspring, so those traits can become more common in the population. A forest fire or random deaths alone do not show that an inherited trait leads to greater reproductive success, and the eagle in the facility does not pass its traits on through reproduction.
