Over Long Periods of Time, Natural Selection Leads To

Question

Over long periods of time, natural selection leads to
A) mutation.
B) adaptation.
C) hybridization.
D) dominance.
E) true breeding lines.

Accepted Answer

Natural selection leads to adaptation, as organisms evolve traits that help them survive and reproduce in their environments. Mutation is a source of genetic variation, not a direct result of natural selection. Hybridization, dominance, and true breeding lines are genetic concepts that do not directly describe the outcome of natural selection over long periods.
