Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Natural selection acts over multiple generations, not a single lifetime, as trait frequency shifts occur across populations over time.
  2. The trait that improves survival/reproduction is adaptive (or advantageous), not "inherited" (this term is already used earlier incorrectly here; the correct description is a trait that boosts fitness).
  3. The final term "change" is correct, but the earlier errors need correction:
  • Replace "one lifetime" with multiple generations
  • Replace the second "inherited" with advantageous (or adaptive)

Answer:

Corrected summary: Natural selection makes certain variations more common in a population over multiple generations. These variations must be inherited, or passed down to offspring. These variations must also be advantageous, which means they make an individual more likely to survive and reproduce in its environment. A change in the population's environment may make different inherited variations more advantageous. If this happens, the most common variation in the population will likely change due to natural selection.
