Which of the following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based
a. population produces more offsprings than environment is able to support
b. individuals with traits well suited for a given environment are more likely to survive and reproduce
c. poorly adapted individuals will not produce any offspring to inherit their genetic traits
d. there is a variation of traits among individuals of a given population

A. Population produces more offsprings than environment is able to support

1. true.2. true.3. true.4. false.5. true.the concept of darwin's theory of evolution involves the idea that there are limited resources in a given living environment and that the organisms which live within have variations in their genetic make up due to random mating. the ones with beneficial genetic variations can express certain traits which give them an upper hand in surviving and reproducing in the said environment compared to ones who may have a more disadvantageous variation in traits. over time, the organisms with an upper hand will survive and reproduce more frequently and pass on their beneficial genes while the others die. the result is evolution, where we observe (usually, but not always) eventually, phenotypic distinct changes.
