None of the statements are accurate. The accurate statement about natural selection is that it is a mechanism by which certain traits are favored over others in a population, leading to the evolution of species over time. It acts on the variation in traits within a population and can lead to changes in allele frequencies. It can also affect reproduction rates if certain traits are more advantageous for reproductive success. Natural selection can occur due to new mutations that create variations in traits within a population. It can also result in the inactivation of genes if they are not advantageous for survival and reproduction.
