Question

Responses

Traits that are advantageous help certain individuals reproduce at higher rates, so those traits are more common within the population.

Those who have traits that help them survive are able to reproduce, and their offspring have those traits, leading to a change in the species over time.

Individuals that survive due to their competitive advantage are able to expand their range, similar to how the finches radiated out from one common ancestor on the mainland.

Some individuals are better at competing for resources, and that allows them to survive droughts or other major ecological events, leading to the extinction of certain species and the survival of others.
