Evolution is the changing of life-forms over time. Natural selection is one of the driving processes of that change.
Natural selection works because all living things have offspring, children, that are slightly different from their parents and siblings. The differences between siblings and parents mean that they all react to the world around them in a slightly different way. These slight differences can mean that some will be able to gather less food than others, so that they won't have as many children as the others. And the traits that make them worse (or better) food-gatherers are passed on to their own children. Over time, over the generations, these differences mount, so that there will be many more children with the kind of traits that make them good food-gatherers than children with poor food-gathering skills.

Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
What is the selective agent in natural selection?
They are the selective agent in 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.
Is natural selection responsible for inherited traits?
no, inherited traits are responsible for natural selection
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?

Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
What is the prefix and suffix of natural selection?

Is natural selection a form of adaptation?
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
What was Darwin's overall conclusion regarding natural selection?
That selection was natural.
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
The mechanism by which organisms evolve is known as?
Natural Selection
What principles includes variation and competition?
