Harmful traits to a cactus include overwatering, which can lead to root rot, and poor drainage, causing excess moisture retention. Additionally, exposure to extreme temperatures, either too cold or too hot, can stress the plant. Pests like mealybugs and scale insects can also damage cacti by feeding on their sap, weakening the plant over time. Lastly, insufficient light can result in etiolation, where the cactus becomes elongated and weak.

Explain why most animals are born without harmful inherited traits?
Most animals do not have harmful inherited traits because natural selection tends to eliminate genes that are detrimental to survival and reproduction. Over time, individuals with harmful traits are less likely to pass on their genes, resulting in a population with fewer harmful inherited traits. Additionally, genetic variability and recombination during reproduction help dilute the prevalence of harmful traits in offspring.

That evolution by natural selection is occurring in this cactus population?
To determine if evolution by natural selection is occurring in a cactus population, you would need to observe changes in the heritable traits of the cacti over time, caused by differences in survival and reproduction. This would indicate that certain traits are being favored, leading to a shift in the genetic makeup of the population.
