Document Summary
Giraffes grew long necks/ wasps developed a social organization: natural selection suggests all the following except: a. What role would be played by each car in the chain: gene, suppose that one thousand cars of different shapes and sizes were lined up end to end making a long chain.

Which of the following terms refers to the process by which biological characteristics that support survival and reproduction become more prevalent in the gene pool: natural selection.
