Expert Solution

The most important factor is abiotic conditions, which play a key role in the natural selection of population or species; these factors include temperature, water availability, pH and several other conditions. Competition (intraspecific) is another factor that determine natural selection and most suitable species can survive and exist. Parasitism also a factor on natural selection and a resistance organism can survive over the susceptible one (for example MRSA)and according to some recent documents mutualism also a factor for benefit of both party (organism), coral reef is the example of that. Other components are less important as compared to mentioned one. Hence, most appropriate component would be

Abiotic condition
Competition
Parasitism
Mutualism

Darwin argued that natural selection would never cause a trait to evolve in one species that benefitted another species at a fitness expense to the first species. A study of egrets in Florida found that parents eject some of their own chicks from the next. This behavior feeds alligators living in the swamps below the nests. The steady supply of food improves the health and condition of the alligators. In view of Darwin’s logic, what are two hypotheses that might...
