The prevalence of genetically predisposed traits that have a reproductive advantage is best explained in terms of

A) mutations.
B) natural selection.
C) the human genome.
D) heredity.

Natural Selection

A process in evolutionary biology where organisms with traits most suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Human Genome

The complete set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoding the genetic blueprint of the species.

Mutations

Permanent alterations in the DNA sequence that make up a gene, resulting in the gene functioning differently than normal.
