Consider da following scenario:

Question

In an aquatic bird population, some birds have long legs. Oda birds have short legs. Da food supply minimals. Da birds with long legs r able 2 wade farther into da water where they can find fish. Over time, da birds with legs become more common

Wut scientific term best describes dis scenario?

A ) Natural selection

B ) Selective pressures

C ) Fitness

D ) Mutation

Answer 1

The scenario you provided describes how certain traits (long legs) give an advantage in survival and reproduction due to the environmental conditions (limited food supply and the ability to wade farther into the water to find food). Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population.

The scientific term that best describes this scenario is:

A) Natural selection

Natural selection is the process through which advantageous traits become more common in a population over generations, resulting in evolution.
