How does an individual with a competitive advantage lead to the evolution of an entire species?(1 point)

Traits that are advantageous help certain individuals reproduce at higher rates, so those traits are more common within the population.

Individuals that survive due to their advantageous traits are able to expand their range.

Individuals with traits that increase their changes of reproduction pass on those traits, leading to a change in the species over time.

Some individuals are better at competing for resources, and that allows them to survive major ecological events.

"Individuals with traits that increase their chances of reproduction pass on those traits, leading to a change in the species over time."

Explanation: natural selection works through differential reproductive success — individuals with advantageous heritable traits leave more offspring, so those traits become more common in the population over generations.
