Question

when describing the process of natural selection, charles darwin stated that multiple choice genes only carry physical traits and not the traits associated with survival and reproduction genetic mutations are initiated by human beings and are not responsible for evolution environments that do not favor certain organisms will help these organisms propagate their species organisms that are best adapted to their environment will survive and produce more offspring

Explanation:

This is the core principle of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection: organisms with traits suited to their environment have higher fitness, meaning they survive longer and reproduce more, passing on advantageous traits to their offspring. The other options are incorrect: genes do influence survival/reproduction traits, mutations are not human-initiated and drive evolution, and unfavorable environments hinder, not help, organism propagation.

Answer:

D. organisms that are best adapted to their environment will survive and produce more offspring
