Given the question: Q: Evolution occurs by what process whereby better-adapted members pass along their traits, according to darwin? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Evolution is a change in the characteristics of living things over time. As described by Darwin, evolution occurs by a process called natural selection . In natural selection, some members of a species, being better adapted or suited to their environment, produce more offspring than others, so they pass "advantageous traits" to their offspring. Over many generations, this can lead to major changes in the characteristics of the species. Evolution explains how living things are changing today and how modern living things have descended from ancient life forms that no longer exist on Earth. As living things evolve, they generally become better suited for their environment. This is because they evolve adaptations. An adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in a given environment. Choices: - organic selection - natural change - spontaneous variation - natural selection A:
The answer is:
natural selection
