C) Hybridization
D) Technology

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural selection is the process by which certain advantageous traits become more common in a population over time, due to the increased reproductive success of individuals with those traits. This leads to the prevalence of favorable genes in a population over time. Mutations and hybridization can also contribute to genetic variation, but they do not necessarily result in the increased frequency of favorable genes in a population. Technology, on the other hand, can manipulate genes artificially, but it does not occur naturally over time in a population.
