Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is natural selection, which involves the preservation of genetic traits that give individuals an advantage in survival and reproduction. Choice B (creation of new species) is not directly related to this process, C (genetic drift) refers to random changes in gene frequency, D (outcrossing) refers to the breeding of individuals from different populations or breeds, and E (increasing evolutionary resistance) is not a well-defined term.
