Which explanation, below, is based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations? The example, for this question, is the coyote. Choose the best answer.
1) Natural selection occurs when individuals with certain traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to future generations.
2) Natural selection occurs when individuals with certain traits are less likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the elimination of those traits from the population.
3) Natural selection occurs randomly, with no specific traits being favored or selected for.
4) Natural selection occurs only in laboratory settings, not in natural populations.
