Natural selection is the non-random differential reproductive success of variant traits. The process has no components per sé. It does, however, rely on a few key conditions, assumed to be present in all life. The assumptions it rests upon are:
- That life reproduces with variation in inherited traits.
- That a population always produces slightly more offspring than can comfortably subsist in its niche.
- That offspring therefore, directly or indirectly, compete for resources and mating opportunities.
- That differences in inherited traits affect the average number of fertile offspring raised by individuals.
- That traits that allow their bearers to raise a higher average number of fertile offspring spread throughout the population faster than rival traits.

Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
How can a wide range of phenotypes increase the chance that some individuals will survive in a changing environment?
by natural selection.
What are three components of natural selection?
The three parts of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection are struggle for existence (competition), survival of the fittest (those with the best adaptations for the time/environment live and reproduce), and descent with modification (over time the population is more representative of organisms with the best adaptations).
What are 3 basic components to today's theory of evolution?

Explain the difference between artificial and natural selection?
Artificial selection is anthropogenic -- humans interfere with nature to determine what traits get passed on, whereas natural selection is when through sexual reproduction the traits passed on are determined by survival of the fittest.

Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.

Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
