Solution

Natural selection:

  1. Natural selection is the process of evaluation, where the organism best adapted to the environment tends to survive and tries to produce more offsprings.
  2. Natural selection is more likely to be reproduced.

Four factors of Natural selection:

  1. Variation: It is an adaptation that occurs in small-scale individuals due to change and is expressed due to the environment.
  2. Inheritance: Inheritance of a character occurs only when that character is passed down from one generation to another during reproduction.
  3. High rate of population growth: Population growth can also be affected by migrants.
  4. Differential survival and reproduction: Natural selection is the difference in the survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.
