B  Natural selection does not actually remove any variants in real life.
C  Natural selection acts by removing only variants of highest fitness.

C  Faster gazelles are more likely to escape predators and survive long enough to produce offspring
D  All of these statements are correct
Question #7
During 1976 on the Galápagos Island of Daphne Major, Peter and Rosemary Grant found evidence of natural selection by adaptation when they observed that

B  finch beak size had no effect on survival rates.
C  many more small seeds were available for the finches to eat.
D  finches with shallow beaks were less likely to survive and reproduce than finches with deep beaks.

B  Population size increases more rapidly than food supplies.
C  There is competition among individuals for resources.
