Randomness.
Because natural selection only preserves incremental beneficial traits to the organism and many different areas of the organism are undergoing mutation and natural selection at the same time against the backdrop of the immediate environment. If a population of organisms, subject to allele change due to natural selection, is not in a changing environment, or split in a allopatric event, then adaptive change will be very slow, or will not happen at all and selection will winnow those variants and stabilizing selection is taking place. Regression to the mean of phenotype.
All species have genetic variation. ;D
It has not reached carrying Capacity
Natural Selection is a process which individuals are better adapted to their enviorment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Say there are turtles barely hatching and there are hungry seagul waiting to be fed, the fastest ones will make it to the water safely while the slow ones are being eaten. so eventually all the turtles in the sea will become faster to get away from predators. hopefully that answered your question.
The characteristic within the population that causes natural selection to occur is that individuals within a given population are not all identical because they vary. The other characteristic that causes natural selection to occur is that some variants are better than the others.
All of these terms EXCEPT ___________ contribute to natural selection
All modern lifeforms are examples of natural selection, since they are all the result of it.

yes.
Enviroment, development, and behavior are all factors besides alleles that can affect phenotypes.
Common descent best demonstrates the unity of among all living organisms, not natural selection.
Because all animals that exist have formed, and are being formed and re-formed, continuously, primarily by natural selection.
No, all life evolves. Bacteria evolve, viruses evolve, protists evolve, plants evolve, fungi evolve and animals evolve. Evolution is driven by Natural Selection. So, no. The evolution of all life on Earth is driven by Natural Selection: all bacteria, plants, animals, mammals, fish, insects, biochemical pathways, behaviours et cetera evolve by Natural Selection.
Yes, penguins, like all animals, have gone through natural selection. Scientific evidence supports this notion.
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.
He formulated the principle of natural selection, intersexual selection and intrasexual selection which all contributed to the study of evolution.
One.
