The accurate statement about natural selection is:
Natural selection does not change the alleles an organism has.
Natural selection acts on the existing variation in a population but does not change the alleles themselves; rather, it selects for or against certain alleles based on their impact on survival and reproduction. The other statements are incorrect.
