Question

Why did genetic disorders in humans survive natural selection?

Answer 1

Natural selection:

1. Natural selection is the process by which living organisms change and adapt to survive.
2. Due to this, some organisms have better-suited traits to the environment.
3. Such organisms, therefore, survive longer an better than those who are not suited to the environment.
4. Genetic disorders in humans survived natural selection.
5. This is because natural selection cannot eliminate the gene that causes the genetic disorder as the mutations arise relatively frequently.
