Well, it's part of the weakest link theory. Natural selection weeds out those who are not fit to carry on their genes. Only the best genes are passed onto further generations, leading to a more widely developed population.

The process by which an organism grows and changes over time?
(The fact of) Evolution. The fact of evolution applies to individual organisms and can not be refuted.
Describe how natural selection is related to organic evolution?
Organic evolution is the process by which the genetic makeup of a species changes over time. There are several mechanisms by which this can happen: natural selection, genetic drift (chance), migration and mutation. So natural selection is one possible way in which evolution can take place. Most biologists agree that natural selection is the most important mechanism of evolution. This mechanism was first discovered by Charles Darwin and, independently. by Alfred Wallace.
What is the process whereby only the fittest organisms survive and are able to reproduce?
natural selection
How do you use natural selection and evolution in a sentence?
didn't you just do that? or did you mean something else? ... Or........... Over time, the change in a species is called evolution. and. Natural selection helps certain animals in a species survive.
Does natural selection only act in Macroevolution?
'Macro-evolution' is not a process in itself. Rather, it is a perspective on the effects of evolution. 'Micro-evolution' is those effects seen from close-up; by 'zooming out' one sees those same results in a wider scope called 'macro-evolution'. All evolution is driven by genetic variation and natural selection.
What evolutionary process s primarily responsible for the evolution?
Natural selection.
What did Darwin name the process of evolution?
natural selection
What was Darwins process of evolution called?
natural selection
How Is Natural Selection Important To The Process Of Evolution?
Natural selection means survival (and breeding) of the fittest, it is key to the evolutionary process.
What process is a mechanism of evolution?
Natural selection is a mechanism of adaptive change in evolution.
Is evolution a natural selection?
Natural selection explains the process of evolution: evolution by natural selection. It basically means that species with the highest fitness (survival rate) will live, and be selected by nature for the characteristics they possess that make them more apt to survive. Because of natural selection, evolution occurs.
What did darwin call the process by which evolution takes place?
The book, On The Origin Of Species, " suggested " that organisms evolve through the process of natural selection. The nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms
What is the process in which traits are chosen to be inherited in evolution?
Natural Selection
Is natural selection a process or a result of a process?
Natural selection is only the result of changing environments, mutation and the variation resulting therein. Natural selection is the process of adaptive change and the main mechanism of evolution that leads to speciation. Natural selection is a process as mutation and variation are grist to the mill of natural selection.
Darwin felt that evolution was the result of a process he termed?
Natural selection.
Drawin felt that evolution was the result of a process he termed?
Natural selection.
How does natural selection affect survival?
Natural selection is the process which determines the shark's evolution. It is humankind that is threatening the sharks' survival.
