What condition would increase the chances of a particular trait evolving by natural selection in response to a change in the environment?

A) a low mutation rate for the trait
B) high heritability of the trait
C) a small population size
D) less variation in fitness

Natural Selection

The process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring, leading to evolutionary changes.

Mutation Rate

The frequency at which mutations occur in a genome over a specific time frame.

Heritability

An estimate of the proportion of trait variability within a population that is due to genetic differences between individuals.
