Which, if any, of the following statements regarding evolution are TRUE?
Evolution produces organisms that are perfectly adapted to their environment
Physical characteristics that organisms acquire over their lifespan are passed down to their offspring
Traits change in populations gradually over time as modifications that improve fitness are selected
Evolution only favors those organisms that are the strongest and most physically fit in their environment
All of the statements above are true
Evolution produces organisms that are perfectly adapted to their environment.
This is possible through natural selection where organisms change to adapt to their environment hence facilitating their survival.
Traits change in populations gradually over time as modifications that improve fitness are selected
This is possible in the sense that evolution does not favor strong or intelligent organisms but favors those that are able to adapt to the changing environment.
