Random processes are not part of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Excepting random genetic mutation that provides the variation natural selection works on.
Random: characterizing a process of selection in which each item of a set has an equal probability of being chosen. In genetics it can really be anything or random because all have an equal chance but not the dominant gene. That gene has slightly more.
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.
# Random variations, a small proportion of which may be beneficial # Natural selection # Change
Genetic drift is the spread of specific random variations throughout the gene pool in the absence of specific selection pressures. There's always random variation in the population, but there aren't always changes in the environment for the population to adapt to. So natural selection, in stead of moving the population towards adaptation, might select from that random variation to move 'sideways', as it were, to a state that's equally well-adapted to the environment as what came before, but different. As random variation may produce many variants that are, more or less, equally well-adapted to their environment, the direction of evolution that results is more or less random.
When would random sampling not be the best approach to sample selection
A non-random selection is one in which all of the people do not have equal chance of being included in the sample.
No. Natural selection is the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators. The random variation part could be thought of as mutation and recombination that the non-randompart, natural selection, works with.
lWhat are the advantages of ranking as a method of final choice over random selection?
Replication random variation Non-random survival
The random selection has produced a fine example!
No, many forms of natural selection have no connection to predation.
Random selection.
the random selection of respondents

It means non specific, like a random selection of something.
