cellular differentiation
Stabilizing selection occurs when organisms with intermediate phenotypes are selected for.
Disruptive selection, also known as diversifying selection.
Reproduction occurs at different points for different organisms. In humans, it occurs when sperm fertilizes egg.
Directional selection is when natural selection favors a single phenotype. It occurs when there is a shift in population towards an extreme version of a beneficial trait.
Natural Selection is driven by random mutations and sexual reproduction. Organisms produce more offspring than can survive. These offspring compete for resources for food and water and who can aviod stuff such as predators and disease. Sexual Reproduction allows a population to have variation. If all of a population was the same, then it could easily die out if it had a adaptation that decreased its chance of survival. With sexual reproduction, all of a population has some sort of variation. Random Mutations allow organisms to gain new adaptions to help them survive in their environment. Together, Random mutations and sexual reproduction allow organisms that can survive in their environment survive and pass on their genes to their offspring.

Asexual Reproduction
meiosis
Overproduction of offspring and more changes like adaptation for survival.
Mutation occurs, if a mutation is recessive it is not expressed in the phenotype, if however it is dominant when passed on in the offspring it is expressed in the phenotype.
when there is competition
