Question

Describe natural selection in brief.

Hint:

Natural selection = "Survival of the fittest," traits that help survival get passed on.

Answer 1

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable traits survive and reproduce, while those with less favorable traits are eliminated. Natural selection acts on variation within a population, leading to the survival of the fittest. Over generations, advantageous traits become more common, contributing to evolution. Example: Peppered moth adaptation during industrial revolution.
