Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural selection acts on the observable physical traits of an organism, which are its phenotypes. It is the phenotype that determines an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, and therefore the genes that contribute to these traits are more likely to be passed on to future generations. Natural selection does not act directly on genes or chromosomes, but rather on the whole organism and its traits.
