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.


What is the mechanism of evolution?

The main driving mechanism of evolution is natural selection. Though genetic drigt and gene flow can also cause evolution.


Compare and contrast natural selection and evolution?

Natural selection is the most powerful driver of evolution and it is the only mechanism of evolution ( genetic drift and gene flow are two other mechanisms ) that leads to adaptive change. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of of randomly varying organisms. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.


The mechanism by which evolution occurs is called?

AnswerNatural selection is the mechanism put forward by Darwin as one of the two essential mechanisms for evolution, the other being random mutation (which Darwin described as inheritable variation, not knowing about genes at the time).The modern evolutionary synthesis includes genetic mutations as the mechanism which provides variations upon which natural selection can act.


Why is it important for humans to learn natural selection?

Because one cannot understand evolution without it. It is the primary driving mechanism of evolution; the mechanism that gives evolution its direction. If one is to learn about biology at all, one must have at least a basic understanding of the mechanism that produced all of today's biological variety.

What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?

This process is called natural selection. It is the mechanism by which traits that provide a survival or reproductive advantage to an organism become more common in a population over time.
