b. be hidden, vary in the population, and affect reproductive success.
c. mutate, affect reproductive success, and cause disequilibrium

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option A.

The evolution of an organism depends on the degree of adaptation in any particular niche that is the success of a trait is selected by nature.

An individual acquires a useful trait in a population due to the change at the genetic level in the genes or mutation in the sequence of DNA.
