- 1Natural selection plays a crucial role in determining which existing variations become prevalent.✓
- 2The faster-evolving species directed mutations to occur specifically in resistance-related genes.
- 3The slower-evolving species must have completely lost its DNA repair mechanisms.
- 4Herbicides induce targeted beneficial mutations directly proportional to the species' survival needs.
