The four things that Darwin identified that must be present in order for natural selection to occur are genetic variation, overproduction of offspring, struggle for existence, and differential survival and reproduction. This activity demonstrated all these factors except genetic variation. For over production of offspring, the beans’ populations were multiplied by three after every round. This is…

Natural selection is very important in the addition of adaptations to bring forth more able and stronger individuals that can survive in their harsh environment. Selection can make some organisms deadlier, like the Asian giant hornet, or can make other organisms better at finding food in hard to reach areas, such as woodpeckers with thicker skulls. Each of these adaptations are unique to these organisms because these adaptations allow them to live in their unique niches. For natural selection to…
