(Gene mutations can be passed on to future generations and drive natural selection. Choose the best description of how gene mutations are involved in evolution.)

Answer 1

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a gene mutation makes an organism better adapted to live in an environment, then there are more number of chances that the mutations will be carried to their offsprings. According to the theory of natural selection, those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment and withstand the environmental changes will have better chances of survival and pass their genes to the offspring. The advantageous mutations will be passed on while the harmful mutations will be eliminated.
