Natural Selection
What is the driving factors in Natural Selection?

What was Darwins main take away from the birds he studied on the Galapagos?
That the beak shape and size had an effect on if the birds would survive because of food availability and environmental factors.
What type of reproduction is Mitosis linked with?

What is a selection pressure?
The organisms that are better suited to their environment survive the pressure of selective agents. This is often referred to as 'Survival of the Fittest'.
