Natural selection.
Adaptation is a mechanism of evolution. It occurs in relatively short period of time among individuals or groups of individuals. Evolution takes a longer amount of time and encodes changes in the DNA of a species.
Natural Selection is what Darwin believed was the cause of evolution.
The relation between evolution and adaptation is that in evolution and adaptation both the body causes some physical changes
Evolution is in fact a process of ongoing adaptation.
The main driving mechanism of evolution is natural selection. Though genetic drigt and gene flow can also cause evolution.
Adaptation or defense mechanism.
Natural selection is a mechanism of adaptive change in evolution.
The main mechanism of adaptive change is natural selection. There are other mechanisms of evolution though Google ' mechanisms of evolution. '
Adaptation
Jean Lamark was the scientist that first described evolution as a process of adaptation.
It is, in fact, evolution (shifts in the frequencies of traits in populations) that causes adaptation (when these shifts lead to increased fitness).
There are no stages to evolution. It is a continuous process of adaptation and divergence.
