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.

Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Natural selection allows a species to change in response to its environment. What is the process by which a species becomes better suited to its environment called?
Adaptation (I'm studying the same thing ;)
What are three reasons for natural selection to occur?
1. different breeding 2. evolution 3.adaptation
What is a natural selection results?
Adaptions that lead to greater survivability and reproductive success in the immediate environment of the individual organisms under selection pressure.
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Is natural selection a form of adaptation?
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
Why is adaptation essential to understanding natural selection?
Because adaptation is the directly visible result of natural selection.
What is the relationship between adaptation and natural section?
Here is a quote: "The relationship between adaptation and natural selection does not go both ways. Whereas greater relative adaptation leads to natural selection, natural selection does not necessarily lead to greater adaptation." I do not recall who said it, but this is what the relationship between both is. Here is a quote: "The relationship between adaptation and natural selection does not go both ways.

Is adaptation a cause of natural selection?
No, it's exactly the other way around: natural selection causes adaptation.
How does adaptation fit into natural selection?
Adaptation and evolution all have to do with how an animal or a species depend on there environment. Adaptation is how the species adapts to there environment.Adaptation is caused by evolution by natural selection.

Adaptation (I'm studying the same thing ;)
What has the author George C Williams written?

Williams has written: 'The pony fish's glow' -- subject(s): Adaptation (Biology), Evolution, Human evolution 'Plan and purpose in nature' -- subject(s): Adaptation (Biology), Evolution, Human evolution, Natural selection, Evolution (Biology) 'Natural selection' -- subject(s): Natural selection 'Adaptation and natural selection' -- subject(s): Adaptation (Biology), Natural selection
How are evolution and natural selection related?
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that shapes adaptation and enables evolution.
What is the degree of adaptation to a specific environment?
Natural Selection.
Which mechanism of evolution can cause adaptation?
Natural selection.
