Selection is the process throughout evolution that results in a species existing in a current ecosystem at a given time. This is known as natural selection.

Natural selection is survival of the fittest, while sexual selection is a preference for a given trait made by the limiting sex. It is strangely, but usually in opposition to natural selection (E.G., male peacock's tail feathers that garner attention from predators and prevent the peacock from fleeing well).
Natural selection produces adaptations in organisms that increase their fitness and survival in a given environment. Through the mechanism of natural selection, organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual evolution of populations over time.

Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Artificial selection in biology is the process by which humans intentionally breed organisms with specific traits to produce offspring with desired characteristics. This differs from natural selection, which is the process by which environmental factors determine which traits are advantageous for survival and reproduction in a given population. While natural selection occurs in nature without human intervention, artificial selection is driven by human choices and preferences.
