Answer 1

1. If the genes help the individual survive and reproduce then it is an advantageous gene. If the gene harms the chance of the individual surviving and reproducing then it’s a disadvantage.

2. This supports Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection because the individual with advantageous genes has a better chance at surviving and reproducing to pass on their genes to their offspring.
