Only the fittest survive. Those best equipped to hunt and provide continue on to reproduce and start the cycle over, and those too weak, die off and do not get a chance to continue the blood line

When lions prey on a herd of antelope some antelope are killed and some escape which part of Darwins concept of natural selection might be used to describe this situation?

Survival of the fittest would be used to describe this situation.


What is the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully?

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.


How does adaptation relate to natural selection?

Its a chicken and egg situation. Adaptation is the response to Natural Selection, and Natural Selection is the response to Adaptation. They both operate by the principle: the members of any species that are best adapted to their environment are the ones most likely to survive and reproduce the next generation, where the process repeats. That does not mean the strongest or most aggressive, they often get themselves killed off.
