QUESTION 3Darwin's theory of natural selection explains:O The way life began.O The way evolution works at the genetic level.The way dinosaurs became extinct.O That traits within a breeding population that are adaptive to specific environmental circumstances become more numerous in that populationover time. QUESTION 5What natural process can produce a change in the DNA sequence, can lead to an altered gene, and over time, can give rise to new genetic traitswithin a population?O mutationOmacroevolutionO random matingO speciation
