What is natural selection?


Natural selection is based on random genetic mutations (adaptations) Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment.

The theory of evolution by natural selection is that..

All species are subject to random mutations, or adaptations.  If these adaptations increase an individual's fitness it is more likely to survive and reproduce, passing the gene on.  Evolution by natural selection is viewed over millions of years.
