When organisms are better adapted to their environment they will survive and reproduce more successfully than organisms less adapted. This process is called —

cloning

selective breeding

natural selection

evolution of all species

natural selection

The correct answer is natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which organisms that are better adapted to their environment have a higher chance of survival and reproductive success compared to those that are less adapted. Over time, this leads to changes in the genetic composition of a population, known as evolution. Cloning and selective breeding are artificial processes that do not necessarily involve adaptation to the natural environment.
