Question

Natural selection is sometimes described as "survival of the fittest." Four friends were arguing about what the phrase "survival of the fittest" means. This is what they said: Diya: "I think ‘fit' means bigger and stronger." Ayush: "I think ‘fit' means more likely to reproduce." Daniel: "I think ‘fit' means being able to run faster." Hari: "I think ‘fit' means more intelligent."

Answer 1

Ayush is correct.

Ayush: "I think ‘fit' means more likely to reproduce

Step-by-step explanation:

Survival of the fittest simply means when organisms living in an environment develop traits or characteristics that help them to fully adapt to the environmental conditions and are able to survive, reproduce and pass on traits to their next generations. It's an indication that the organisms posses some characteristics that can help them to survive and reproduce in unfavorable environmental conditions.
