fertilization
reproductive strategy
the theory of evolution
natural selection
reproduction
question 19
2 pts
19
______ is the gradual alteration of a species genetic makeup, supported by a vast body of evidence.
natural selection
reproduction
fertilization
the theory of evolution

Explanation:

First Question (above Question 19)

• Fertilization is the union of gametes, not about adapted individuals producing more offspring.
• Reproductive strategy is a broader plan for reproduction, not the specific process of adapted individuals having more offspring.
• The Theory of Evolution is a broader concept about species change over time, not the specific process described.
• Natural selection is the process where individuals best adapted to the environment have higher reproductive success (produce more offspring).
• Reproduction is the general process of producing offspring, not specific to adapted individuals.

• Natural selection is the mechanism, not the alteration of genetic makeup of a species over time.
• Reproduction is the production of offspring, not about genetic makeup alteration of a species.
• Fertilization is gamete union, not related to species' genetic makeup alteration.
• The Theory of Evolution (assuming the last option is "The Theory of Evolution") is about the gradual alteration of a species' genetic makeup over time, supported by evidence.

Answer:

D. natural selection
