Natural selection explains adaptive change in the immediate environment.
Survival of the fittest would be used to describe this situation.
Natural selection requires that individuals in a population are
What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.
This type of natural selection is called stabilizing selection because the mean traits of the population are being selected for against the immediate environment.

A. Evolution and natural selection. Charles Darwin is primarily known for his theories on evolution, which explains how species change over time, and natural selection, which is the process by which advantageous traits become more common in a population.

One process that explains how evolution occurs is natural selection. This process involves certain traits becoming more common in a population over time because they provide a reproductive advantage, leading to gradual changes in the population's characteristics. Additionally, genetic mutations also play a role in evolution by introducing new variations that can be subjected to natural selection.
Natural selection requires that individuals in a population are
No, there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.
Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.
What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
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.
It is stabilizing selection
Natural selection requires variation in traits within a population, heritability of those traits, and differential reproductive success based on those traits. Without these components, natural selection cannot act on a population.
