Yes, natural selection is always occurring.
genetic variation
no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon
No - natural selection does not create new alleles. Variation in alleles needs to exist in the population in order for natural selection to occur. Natural selection will involve the change in allele frequencies over time, but it does not create new alleles. New alleles are the result of mutations.
Mendelevium is an artificial chemical element.
Artificial selection interested Darwin because it demonstrated that traits could be modified over generations through selective breeding. This process allowed humans to intentionally choose which traits were passed on to offspring, leading Darwin to realize that a similar natural process could occur in nature, driving evolution through natural selection.
Yes, natural selection is always occurring.
What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.
There are really no steps in natural selection - just conditions required for it to occur.
Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
the presence of predators
No, its a group thing.

Natural selection
What would be selected if organisms did not have differences that lead to better survival and reproduction, or the opposite. That is all natural selection is.
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
