Are all different types of traits the result of adaptation.explain?

No. You are describing what is called Lamarckism. Different traits are the results of the alleles found in genes. The environment does push one trait over another if the environment becomes extreme. You will see many traits in a population (such as in a human population) but one is not favored unless that trait allows those that have it to do better.

How does variation lead to natural selection?

If all individuals in a species are not exactly clones of each other but have small variations in the genes (traits), some will do better when the environment changes. These traits will be "favored" over other traits. More individuals will be found with the trait.


What does it mean if there is two different alleles for a trait?

The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.
