A. Through adaptation, organisms learn to survive in their

more common within the population.
B. Through adaptation, organisms learn to survive in their
environment. They teach these behaviors to their offspring, so
these traits become more common within the population.
C. Adaptations increase the chances that an individual will reproduce
and pass its genes onto the next generation. Such traits then
become more common within a population.
D. Adaptations increase the chances that an individual will live
