Answer 1

Geralda should include:

Only some of the organisms survive and reproduce.

This condition highlights the concept of differential survival and reproduction, which is a key component of natural selection. It indicates that not all individuals in a population will have the same chance of surviving and passing on their traits, leading to changes in the population over time.
