Question

natural selection practice questions
which three of the following are considered driving forces for evolution by natural selection?
□ a. common ancestry
□ b. asexual reproduction
□ c. overproduction and/or competition
□ d. genetic variation
□ e. unequal reproductive success
□ f. environmental stability

Explanation:

Natural selection driving - forces include overproduction leading to competition, genetic variation providing different traits, and unequal reproductive success where some individuals reproduce more effectively. Common ancestry is about evolutionary relationships, asexual reproduction doesn't contribute to genetic variation in the same way as sexual reproduction for natural - selection purposes, and environmental stability doesn't drive natural selection as much as environmental change.

Answer:

C. overproduction and/or competition
D. genetic variation
E. unequal reproductive success
