Which of the following statements about evolution is not correct?
Group of answer choices
Genetic variations that increase a specimen’s likelihood of reproducing will eventually be adopted by the population.
Natural genetic variations will occur within offspring of a species.
An evolutionary trait can be adopted population-wide as quickly as within a single generation.
A species can produce more offspring than its environment can support.
Last option
First option is correct because variation which increase the likelihood of the survival and Reproduction of a given organism are passes on to the next generation and this leads to the adaptation of that particular trait.
Second option is correct because in sexually reproducing organisms, gamete formation and random fertilization leads to the presence of natural genetic variation present between progenies of same parent.
Third option is correct because if a trait is beneficial for an organism then it will be passed on to the next generation and will be quickly adapted by the population.
Last option is incorrect because the number of offspring and the total number of individuals present in a given ecosystem is determined by the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. It is directly proportional to the amount of resources present in that environment. Therefore the number of individuals in an environment is restricted due to the Limited amount of resources present.
