Question

Evolution occurs when nature selects:

Group of answer choices

mutations that increase reproduction

point mutations

chromosome mutations

induced mutations

Answer 1

Evolution occurs when nature selects mutation that increase reproduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

• 'Survival of the fittest', this is the major principle followed in the process of Natural selection.
• This explains that nature will select only those individual who are fitter than rest of the population.
• A more fit individual will show a greater reproductive success.
• A greater reproductive success can be attained by a mutation that increases reproduction.
• Thus population of such individual prove itself to be more fit to maintain its population and gene pool.
• Soon the population with lower reproductive success will be eliminated and the evolved population with greater reproductive success will stabilize as a result of Natural selection.
• Thus, Evolution takes place when Nature selects Mutation that increase reproduction.
