Natural selection cannot occur without population variation in inherited characteristics. Natural selection can act only on traits that affect reproduction. A trait must be inherited if natural selection is to act on it.

Natural selection is the only process that results in a. genetic variation. b. adaptation to the environment. c. phenotypic change. d. competition among individuals in a population.
natural selection is a process resulting in changes in the genotypes of individuals during their life-time changes in the traits of both individuals during their lifetime and of populations over time. the change in the heritable characteristics of populations over time. the change in the phenotypes of individuals during their lifetime.
