Natural selection is driven by differences in reproductive success between variants within the same population.
No, mutation and sexual recombination are the sources of variation and natural selection selects from those variations presented to it against the immediate environment.
If a population exists in an environment that changes very little, then natural selection may not provide any pressure to change. However, even under these conditions genetic driftoccurs, introducing random change within the parameters set by natural selection.
Change in the allele frequency within the gene pool. ?
Selective breeding is the process whereby one controls the breeding patterns of biological entities to yield specific traits. This can also mean forcing breeding to boost recessive traits in a population.Natural selection, on the other hand, results only in populations that express traits that allow for survival and further reproduction within a given environment (selection pressure).

Variations within a population
Variations within populations is what natural selection is " looking " for. That one variant of a population is somewhat better able to survive and reproduce than other variants against the backdrop of the immediate environment is natural selection.
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
The answer lies within
No, mutation and sexual recombination are the sources of variation and natural selection selects from those variations presented to it against the immediate environment.
Crossing-over increases the genetic variation within a population, which is required for natural selection to act upon.
