Question

better adapted organisms survive and reproduce more than less well-adapted organisms.
what is this process called?
○ competition
○ mutualism
○ ecology
○ natural selection

Explanation:

• Competition is an interaction where organisms vie for resources, not the survival of better-adapted organisms.
• Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit, not the described survival process.
• Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment, not the specific process here.
• Natural selection is the process where better-adapted organisms survive and reproduce more successfully than less well-adapted ones, matching the given description.

Answer:

○ natural selection
