What is a basic requirement for natural selection to occur in a population? Resources must be unlimited - just as in the real world. Organisms in the same population must differ from one another in their heritable traits. Multiple levels of selection must be at play. It is necessary to invoke the action of a higher power. Sexual reproduction must occur for natural selection to take place.
