Question

Would natural selection work on a population that has no variation?

Answer 1

Natural selection:

1. It is a mechanism of evolution.
2. Individuals that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive.
3. They pass on the genetics that favored their success in survival.
4. This process leads to change and variation in species over time.
5. Natural selection works on the principle of variation.
6. Therefore, it would not work on a population with no variation.
