The accurate statement about natural selection is:
Natural selection does not change the alleles an organism has.
Natural selection acts on existing genetic variation within a population by favoring certain alleles over others based on their contribution to fitness, but it does not change the alleles themselves or create new alleles. The other statements are incorrect.
