Which mutation scenario will always lead to natural selection?(1 point)

Responses

a mutation causes an inactivated gene to be reactivated
a mutation causes an inactivated gene to be reactivated

a mutation causes a gene to become inactivated
a mutation causes a gene to become inactivated

a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population
a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population

a mutation causes a specific variation within the population
a mutation causes a specific variation within the population

The mutation scenario that will always lead to natural selection is: "a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population." Natural selection is the process by which certain traits or variations in a population become more or less common over time due to the advantageous or disadvantageous effect they have on survival and reproduction. A mutation that provides a specific advantage to an individual in a population will increase their chances of surviving and reproducing, therefore increasing the frequency of that advantageous trait in the population over time.

The mutation scenario that will always lead to natural selection is when a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population. Natural selection is the process by which certain traits or characteristics that provide an advantage for survival and reproduction become more prevalent in a population over time. This advantage increases the likelihood of an organism's survival and ability to reproduce, thus increasing the frequency of the advantageous allele or gene within the population. In this scenario, the specific advantage conferred by the mutation helps the organism outcompete other individuals in the population, leading to a higher likelihood of passing on the advantageous traits to future generations.
