The above statement is false because;
Natural selection operates on individuals whereas, evolution operates at the level of population.
EXPLANATION:
Natural selection operates on individuals, since the organisms which are better suited to environment live and reproduce to pass on the favourable genes to the next generations. Population is the smallest unit of living organisms that can evolve, since frequencies of existing and new mutations can vary with time as well as space.

Evolution by Natural Selection can be described as: A) individuals with traits that increase survival will become more common, even if they don't reproduce B) individuals with genes that allow them to sacrifice themselves for the species are the more evolved C) Species evolve as a whole with all individuals within the population evolving at the same time D) Individuals with traits that increase survival and produce more offspring as a result, their genes become more common in the population

Natural selection can move a population beyond its initial range of variation because a. sudden increases in mutation rates are often induced by selection. b. under genetic drift there is less variation and under selection there is more. c. selection can expose hidden variation. d. selection usually increases the randomness of mating, thus increasing variation.

In the case of directional selection, if the advantageous allele (b) is recessive and a less advantageous allele (B) is dominant: A. b will be lost in the population because the dominant allele will increase in frequency by natural selection B. b will increase in frequency at the same speed as if it was a dominant advantageous allele, because what matters is the coefficient of selection and not if the allele is dominant or recessive C. b will increase in...
