There is no single mathematical formula for all of natural selection. Although, if you're interested in mathematical descriptions of natural selection, I can recommend you read a few books on population genetics, such as Principles of Population Genetics, by Hartl and Clark.
Natural selection occurs when:
- There exists a population of organisms that reproduce with variation.
- Variant features are inherited by offspring.
- The population produces more offspring than can comfortably subsist within its direct environment.
- Variant offspring therefore have to compete with one another for resources and mating opportunities.
Simply put: the traits of those variants that are better at producing offspring will have a greater frequency in future generations.

What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
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.
Does natural selection occur in the world today?
Yes, natural selection is always occurring.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Is natural selection a form of adaptation?
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
What principles includes variation and competition?
Natural selection.
The mechanism by which organisms evolve is known as?
Natural Selection
What was Darwin's overall conclusion regarding natural selection?
That selection was natural.
The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce is called?
natural selection
Is natural selection a cause of evolution?
No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.
