Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Darwin proposed that natural selection acts on inheritable traits that enhance an organism's survival and reproductive success in its environment. Therefore, organisms that possess inheritable traits that allow them to survive and produce more offspring are more likely to pass those traits on to their offspring, resulting in the evolution of a species. Non-inheritable traits, by definition, are not passed on to offspring and therefore cannot contribute to descent with modification through natural selection.
