Casey Griggs is a very capable computer engineer. Recently, he noticed a problem that computer engineers have, and thought of a solution to the problem that might represent an opportunity for a new software product. Casey's idea for a new software product is an example of a(n) discovery.
A) chance
B) serendipitous
C) traditional
D) conventional
E) opportune

B) serendipitous

Explanation:

Serendipitous discovery is  a type of discovery that occurs when unplanned events about things that are surprising are made, rather than being discovered through planned investigation. This type of discovery is mostly accidental or by chance. Casey’s idea that emanated from the accidental discovery of a problem computer engineers have, which led to the idea of coming up with a new product that is beneficial is simply an example of serendipitous discovery.

If an organism has a beneficial trait, they have a higher chance of survival, and if they can survive they can reproduce too.

Example: Speckled moths camouflage with the bark of trees and are not easily seen by predators. Black moths do not camouflage with the bark of trees and are easily seen by predators, therefore the black moths are eaten. Because the black moths have been eaten they cannot reproduce and pass on the trait for black wings to their offspring, but the speckled moths are able to reproduce because they survived and are able to pass on the speckled wing trait to their offspring.
