B) natural selection.
C) behavior genetics.
D) pruning.

Natural Selection

A process in evolutionary biology where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Reproductive Advantage

The increased likelihood of an organism to reproduce and pass on its genes, often due to a particular genetic trait or behavior.

Genetically Predisposed Traits

Characteristics or conditions that individuals are more likely to develop due to their genetic makeup.

  • Pinpoint the contributors to genetic diversity and their role in the development of evolution.
