Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural selection refers to the process by which certain traits that are favorable for survival become more common in a population over time. In the case of tuberculosis, individuals who have genetic or immune system factors that make them more resistant to the disease are more likely to survive and pass on these traits to their offspring. Over time, this leads to an overall decrease in the incidence and virulence of the disease in the population.
