No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.
Natural selection.
no
because the rocks are pretty
Perhaps not, but evolution can exist without natural selection.
Evolution by natural selection.
Evolution by natural selection.
Natural selection directs evolution; it cannot stop or prevent it.
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that shapes adaptation and enables evolution.
The main driving mechanism of evolution is natural selection. Though genetic drigt and gene flow can also cause evolution.
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, natural selection is often called survival of the fittest.
Evolution is the process of change in species over time, while natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution occurs. Natural selection acts on genetic variation within a population, favoring traits that increase an individual's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population, leading to evolutionary change.
