Key Concepts

Natural Selection

Natural selection is the process by which individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, this leads to an increase in the frequency of beneficial traits in a population, driving adaptation and evolution.

Environmental Pressures

Environmental pressures are external factors such as climate, predators, competition, and resource availability that influence an organism's survival and reproduction. These pressures create challenges that favor certain traits over others within a population.

Population Variation

Population variation refers to the genetic and phenotypic diversity present within a species. This diversity is crucial for natural selection because it provides the raw material on which environmental pressures can act, leading to differential survival and reproduction of individuals.
