Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms.
So, if an organism is selected by having greater reproductive success than it's conspecifics this organism will leave descendents that have the traits for this success and if enough descendents start making up a greater bit of the population then genes( alleles ) will change in frequency and evolution will take place.
Natural selection is also the driver of adaptive change leading to speciation.

What process is a mechanism of evolution?
Natural selection is a mechanism of adaptive change in evolution.
How does nonrandom mating affect evolution?
Non-random mating is otherwise known as sexual selection. Some see this as distinct from natural selection, but I think that sexual selection is merely a form of, or perhaps more a complication of natural selection. Selection, natural or sexual, is the effect that "guides" evolution, that allows evolution to produce populations suited to their environment.
In evolution what generates the formation of adaptations?
Natural Selection
What was Darwins process of evolution called?
natural selection
What is the gist of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution?
Theory of evolution by natural selection. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms. That simple.
Is natural selection a cause of evolution?
No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.
Can natural selection exist with out evolution?
Perhaps not, but evolution can exist without natural selection.
How is natural selection and evolution linked?
Natural selection is one of the 'guiding' principles of evolution.
What is the application of natural selection theory to human society?
Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural?
Evolution by natural selection.
Which type of natural selection prevents evolution?
Natural selection directs evolution; it cannot stop or prevent it.
How are evolution and natural selection related?
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that shapes adaptation and enables evolution.
What is the relationship between evolution and natural selection?
Natural selection is one force that can lead to evolution.natural selection is one cause of evolution
Is evolution a natural selection?
Natural selection explains the process of evolution: evolution by natural selection. It basically means that species with the highest fitness (survival rate) will live, and be selected by nature for the characteristics they possess that make them more apt to survive. Because of natural selection, evolution occurs.
In evolution survival of the fittest refers to?
In evolution, natural selection is often called survival of the fittest.
What was Charles Darwin's contribution to science?
his development in science is that he created the natural selection
What principles is not part of Darwin's original theory of evolution by natural selection?
Random processes are not part of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
