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.
Can natural selection exist with out evolution?
Perhaps not, but evolution can exist without natural selection.
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.
In evolution survival of the fittest refers to?
In evolution, natural selection is often called survival of the fittest.
What was Charles Darwin's contribution to science?
his development in science is that he created the natural selection
What does natural selection lead to?
Natural selection leads to evolution by giving the organism that is best suited for the area to thrive. Thus those who not suited for the area die off and evolution moves forward.
Which is more likely to be true natural selection or evolution?
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.
Is natural selection a cause of evolution?
No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.

Perhaps not, but evolution can exist without natural selection.
What is another word for Darwin's theory of natural selection?
Evolution by natural selection.
Organisms stay the same due to evolution natural selection and artificial selection. true or false?
False. Organisms change over time due to evolution, which is driven by natural selection (survival of the fittest) and artificial selection (human intervention). This process leads to the adaptation and diversification of species.
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.
How much natural selection leads to evolution?
All natural selection results in evolution. But natural selection is not necessarily the only mechanism leading to evolution. There are processes at work on a molecular level, such as intragenomic conflict-type processes, that also result in differential reproductive success, but aren't exactly related to the kind of processes Darwin first described.
Why is natural selection not random in the process of evolution?
Natural selection is not random in the process of evolution because it is based on the survival and reproduction of individuals with advantageous traits that help them adapt to their environment. This leads to the gradual accumulation of beneficial traits in a population over time, resulting in the evolution of species.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural?
Evolution by natural selection.
What can be used to describe evolution by natural selection?
The term that is often incorrectly used to describe evolution by natural selection is "survival of the fittest."
