Randomness.
The common factor in the three types are that dominant traits are preferred.
Because natural selection only preserves incremental beneficial traits to the organism and many different areas of the organism are undergoing mutation and natural selection at the same time against the backdrop of the immediate environment. If a population of organisms, subject to allele change due to natural selection, is not in a changing environment, or split in a allopatric event, then adaptive change will be very slow, or will not happen at all and selection will winnow those variants and stabilizing selection is taking place. Regression to the mean of phenotype.
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Randomness.
Overproduction
Artificial Selection, Sexual Selection and Natural Selection.
Variations within a population
Natural Selection :)
Natural selection.
Variation in the organisms under selection. In both artificial selection and natural selection there must be heritable variations that have the possibility of being in the case of artificial selection what the selector wants in the organism and in thje case of natural selection survivability and reproductive advantages.
In some cases, the direction of evolution is intentionally controlled by humans. We call this artificial selection, or breeding - as in the breeding of cattle. In all other cases, nobody controls the direction of evolution.
No. They function through the exact same mechanisms. The only difference is what controls the environment: whether it is in human hands or left to nature.
