Question
In contrast to adjustments, adaptations are all of the following EXCEPT...Question 6Answera.a result of natural selection.b.permanent.c.affecting individuals, not whole populations.d.genetic.
Solution
The statement that does NOT apply to adaptations is "affecting individuals, not whole populations."
Adaptations are a result of natural selection, they are permanent, and they are genetic. However, they do not just affect individuals. Instead, they affect whole populations. Over time, beneficial adaptations spread through natural selection across populations, not just individuals.
