Question

What do you understand by natural selection?

Answer 1

Definition:

• Natural selection is a process of evolution where traits that help organisms in their survival and reproduction processes pass from one generation to another.
• The theory of natural selection was brought by Charles Robert Darwin.
• This theory states that the organisms that do not possess favorable variations are regarded unfit and they cannot carry on the struggle for surviving.
• As a result, the population includes only the fit organisms that possess favorable variations.
• The fit reproductively fit populations are selected over the unfit population as they can produce more progeny.
