Natural Selection

Cards (5)

  • Natural selection is the greater chance of passing on of genes by the best adapted organisms.
  • Variation is natural or random changes in all living organisms.
  • Variation leads to survival of the fittest since the variations in certain organisms allow that organism to have an advantage over the others in its species in that area
  • The surviving organisms reproduce, since they don’t get eaten, so variation has caused the species to evolve.
  • Evolution is caused by natural selection which is caused by a change in the environment
