Correct answers:
- Populations have genetic variation.
- Organisms overproduce offspring.
- Nature selects favorable adaptations.
Explanation: Natural selection requires (1) variation among individuals, (2) differential survival/reproduction (often driven by overproduction and competition), and (3) heritable differences that cause some traits to be favored by the environment (i.e., selection of favorable adaptations).
