What characteristic within populations causes natural selectio?

Variation in traits within populations is the characteristic that causes natural selection. This variation could be due to genetic differences or environmental factors, and individuals with traits that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation. Over time, this process leads to the evolution of populations as adaptations become more common.
