Match each scenario with the correct component of natural selection. On average, sea turtles lay about 110 eggs in a clutch. However, only a fraction of the baby turtles make it to the ocean. Then, an even smaller number have offspring of their own.

Sea turtles produce many more eggs than can survive to reproduce. This is overpopulation: organisms produce more offspring than the environment can support, so only a fraction survive and have offspring. The correct choice is overpopulation.
