Heart disease has become a leading killer of both men and women in the United States. Why hasn’t natural selection eliminated heart disease from the human population?

Question 4 options:

Modern-day humans are no longer subject to natural selection

Heart disease does not have a strong heritable component

Heart disease does not strongly reduce reproductive success

All of these answers are correct

Genetic drift maintains heart disease in the population

Solution

The answer is: Heart disease does not strongly reduce reproductive success.

Since heart disease is related to old age so generally people die of heart diseases after they have reproduced.
