Which statement is accurate about variations?

Question

1. In all cases, variations become more common in a population.
2. In all cases, variations affect how likely it is that an organism reproduces.
3. Organisms with variations that give an advantage are more likely to survive.
4. Organisms with variations are less likely to pass these variations to their offspring.

Answer 1

The most accurate statement about variations among the options provided is:

3. Organisms with variations that give an advantage are more likely to survive.

This statement is aligned with the principles of natural selection, where advantageous traits increase an organism's likelihood of surviving and reproducing, thereby increasing the frequency of those traits in the population over time. The other statements have inaccuracies or are too absolute.
