The statement that BEST describes an example of natural selection is:
® Snakes in a population that are better able to survive in a desert become more likely to pass their genes to offspring.
This statement illustrates natural selection because it describes a situation where certain traits (in this case, those that help snakes survive in a desert environment) increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction, leading to those traits being passed on to the next generation.
