How does natural selection work with regards to genes and what is passed to the next generation? a Those with the most favorable combination of genes survive and pass their DNA to the next generation. b Natural selection allows genes to mutate changing the species of an organism. c Those with the most favorable combination of genes die off not allowing their DNA to be passed on to the next generation. d Those with the least favorable combination of genes survive and pass their DNA to the next generation

The correct answer is: a Those with the most favorable combination of genes survive and pass their DNA to the next generation.
Natural selection is the process by which individuals with traits that confer a survival and reproductive advantage in a particular environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than those without those advantageous traits. This leads to the passing of the favorable genes to the next generation, gradually influencing the gene pool of a population over time.
