- Biologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this statement mean? A) A) If populations of a species are in different environments, traits that individuals need to meet their needs in each environment will appear. B) Traits can be helpful or harmful. If populations of a species are in different environments, some traits that are helpful in one environment might be harmful in another environment. C) Traits are always either helpful or harmful, and the environment of a population doesn’t matter. If populations of a species are in different environments, the same traits will always be helpful. D) Species were formed to perfectly match their environment. The traits of individuals in a species depend on the specific environment in which they were created.arrow_forwardHow did Darwin support the idea that natural selection can produce evolutionary change?
