What is natural selection
According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection Wikipedia, “ Natural selection is the gradual process by which heritable biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment. It is a key mechanism of evolution.” In simple terms natural selection is the creation of slightly differing species within a population being tested on their survival success by nature itself.
Examples of when natural selection worked
Galápagos finches adapt to their environment. Each finch adapts to their home/ environment based on their beak , and talons. For example a ground finch would have a large beak meant to easily break into nuts and seeds on the ground. While, a tree finch would have a sharp pointed beak like a spear that can pierce through bark and grab worms . If one of these two types of birds were to switch their environment it would die young. To explain, the ground finch wouldn't be able to eat the worms within the tree do to its large beak forcing it to die of hunger. This means that the ground finch wouldn't be able to pass on its genes. …show more content…
It is more commonly used today in other contexts, to refer to a supposed greater probability that "fit" as opposed to "unfit" individuals will survive some test.” This means that the organism fit doesn't have to be the strongest, fastest, or the most intelligent it just needs to be able to reproduce or have a high probability of in order to pass on its genes to the new generation. While still keeping the population well diverters to the point that it can still evolve or adapt.
