Differential Selection and Reproduction of Phenotypes Occurs During a Process

Question

Differential selection and reproduction of phenotypes occurs during a process called
A) cellular differentiation.
B) evolution.
C) growth.
D) transformation.

Accepted Answer

Differential selection and reproduction of phenotypes is one of the fundamental mechanisms of evolution through which individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on their traits to their offspring, while individuals with disadvantageous traits are less likely to survive and reproduce. This process drives the gradual change and diversification of species over time, and ultimately leads to the emergence of new species.
