Question

Explain natural selection with an example.

Hint:

Natural selection leads to survival of the fittest; an example is the peppered moth adapting to pollution.

Answer 1

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to the next generation.

 Example: 
The classic example of natural selection is the evolution of the peppered moth in industrial areas. During the Industrial Revolution, darker moths had a survival advantage as they were better camouflaged against soot-darkened trees, leading to an increase in their population.
