Which of the following would NOT be considered part of the process of natural selection?

• Many of the variations among individuals in a population are heritable.
• More offspring are produced than are able to survive and reproduce.
• Many adaptive traits may be acquired during an individual's lifetime, helping

that individual to evolve.

• Individuals with traits best adapted to the environment are likely to leave more

offspring. - ANSWER-C) Many adaptive traits may be acquired during an individual's lifetime, helping that individual to evolve.

• are homologous structures
• resulted from artificial selection 1 / 4

• none of the above - ANSWER-A) are vestigial structures

Numbers of migratory songbirds are declining in North America. Which of the following factors is important in this decline?

• pollution
• human disruption of breeding behavior
