Evolutionhe is possible because of the genetic variability. The genetic variability arises due to the changes occuring in the DNA molecule.
Among the varients best suited organism is selected by the nature which we call "Natural Selection ".
Sometimes chance selection of a variety can also occur which we call "Genetic Drift".
