Which statement best describes how reproduction leads to natural selection in a population? -organisms do not produce many offspring, so all of them can survive and pass on their traits

- organisms overproduce offspring; consequently, all of them are likely to survive and pass in traits

- organisms overproduce offspring, so only some survive and pass on their traits

-organisms do not overproduce offspring; therefore, those that are produced will develop the best traits

can someone please provide me with the correct answer. i would really appreciate it!

If bacteria are much too small to see, what is one reason why can we see colonies in the petri dishes that have plenty of food to eat after only a few days?

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?

The illustration shown is an ovum, a female sex cell. a mutation in this cell may be passed to the woman’s offspring during a) birth. b) mitosis. c) dna replication. d) sexual reproduction
