Question

Describe how the process of natural selection can result in an increase in frequencies of certain traits found in a population.

Answer 1

An individual may carry a very beneficial genotype with a resulting phenotype that, for example, increases the ability to reproduce

Answer 2

Natural Selection (Answer Below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural Selection is the selection of a more beneficial trait. For example, if trees get covered in soot all the white beetles and butterflys are going to stand out like a sore thumb, but the beetles and butterflies that adapted and evolved now have better traits that help them hide predators. The predators have a harder time finding the now black colored butterflies and beetles due to the black soot meaning the beetles and butterflies will have a higher survivability
