Through careful observation, charles darwin came to understand that select one: a. populations of plants and animals in nature most often consist of individuals that are clones of each other b. those individuals whose traits give them an advantage in staying alive long enough to reproduce are more likely to pass their traits on to the next generation c. populations of a species that become isolated from others by adapting to different environmental niches quickly become extinct d. all of the above

I would also have to say B: those individuals whose traits give them an advantage in staying alive long enough to reproduce

I believe this is called natural selection. Hopefully this helps and good luck.

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.

hope this , have a good day. c;
