• Natural selection works on variations to promote advantageous traits in a population.
• Natural selection eliminates all variations in a population.

How do mutations, adaptations, and natural selection work together in a population?

• Mutations create variations, adaptations improve survival, and natural selection favors beneficial traits.
• Mutations are only beneficial, adaptations are always harmful, and natural selection is a myth.
• Mutations are harmful, adaptations are unnecessary, and natural selection is random.
• Mutations eliminate variations, adaptations hinder survival, and natural selection ignores traits.
