Question

Among a migrating species of fish, one individual migrates further than any other in its population. As a result, the fish develops stronger swimming muscles than any other individual in its population, allowing it to catch more prey. Will the fish's offspring be favored by natural selection? Why or why not?

Answer 1

It will not be favored.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fish's offspring will not be favored by natural selection because it depends on if the condition of having stronger swimming muscles is genetic or not. Even if it is caused by a genetic difference, this will not immediately affect the offspring therefore the offspring will not be favored by natural selection.

I hope this answer helps.
