3) A deer is born with the ability to smell predators better than the other deer in its * population. As a result, this deer has several seconds of warning every time wolves or other predators attack. This trait may be selected by natural selection because it increases the deer's
chances of survival and reproduction compared to other deer in the population. This advantage in detecting predators early gives the deer a better chance of escaping and avoiding being caught, ultimately leading to a higher likelihood of survival and passing on its genes to future generations. Over time, this trait may become more common in the population as those with this advantage are more successful in reproducing and passing on their genes.
