Question

can sunlight change the distribution of traits in a population? (1 point)
yes, because the environment can factor into the distribution of traits.
yes, because the environment is the only factor that can change traits.
no, because the environment can only change traits in individual organisms.
no, because the environment can only change behaviors.

Explanation:

Sunlight is an environmental factor. Environmental factors can drive natural selection, which alters the distribution of heritable traits in a population over time. The first option correctly states that the environment (like sunlight) influences trait distribution, while other options are incorrect: the environment is not the only trait-changing factor, environmental pressures do affect population trait distributions (not just individuals), and environment affects more than just behaviors.

Answer:

Yes, because the environment can factor into the distribution of traits.
