NATURAL SELECTION --The process in nature by which, according to Darwin's theory of evolution ,the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and transmit their genetic characteristics in increasing numbers to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated.
ADAPTATION--In Biology, the process by which an animal or plant becomes fitted to its environment. It is the result of Natural selection acting on inherited variation. Even simple organisms must be adapted in many ways, including structure, physiology, and genetics; movement or dispersal; means of defense and attack; and reproduction and development. To be useful, adaptations must often occur simultaneously in different parts of the body.

What is the difference between sexual and natural selection?
Natural selection is survival of the fittest, while sexual selection is a preference for a given trait made by the limiting sex. It is strangely, but usually in opposition to natural selection (E.G., male peacock's tail feathers that garner attention from predators and prevent the peacock from fleeing well).
What genetic change allows organisms to survive natural selection in their environments analogies acquired traits adaptations learned behaviors?
Adaptations
Why do living things evolve?
Natural selection (survival of the fittest) means that valuable adaptations and mutations have the greatest number of surviving descendants.
Discuss the difference between economics and natural science?
i want to know the difference between economics and natural sciences
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
What is the difference between adaptation and natural selection?
Adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment, while natural selection is the process by which organisms with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation. In other words, adaptation is the result of natural selection.
What is the difference between the processes of natural selection and artificial selection?
the difference between the 2 r that natural is the best looking or tasting and artificial is fake
Is artificial selection and natural selection the same at the molecular level?
Technically, yes, but only because they are using virtually the same processes, the only real difference between the two, is like the difference between choosing your own mate and having someone choose your mate for you.
What process causes adaptations to evolve?
Natural selection
What statements best describes the relationship between adaptations and natural selection?
Adaptations are traits that enhance an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. Natural selection is the process through which these advantageous traits become more common in a population over generations, as individuals with beneficial adaptations are more likely to thrive and pass on their genes. Therefore, adaptations are the result of natural selection acting on variations within a population. Together, they drive the evolution of species.
What is the difference between purifying selection and positive selection in the process of natural selection?
Purifying selection removes harmful genetic variations, while positive selection promotes beneficial genetic variations in natural selection.
How do adaptations arise in a species?
Through natural selection and evolution
What is the difference between sexual and natural selection?
Natural selection is survival of the fittest, while sexual selection is a preference for a given trait made by the limiting sex. It is strangely, but usually in opposition to natural selection (E.G., male peacock's tail feathers that garner attention from predators and prevent the peacock from fleeing well).
What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selections?
natural selection occurs due to natural phenomena (e.g. changes in diet or predators).artificial selection occurs due to human generated phenomena (e.g. breeding or domestication).
Are there any other adaptations exept from these?
Any other adaptations that "do not fit the environment" get discarded via natural selection
Why do adaptations fit the environment?
Because the adaptations that get established are a consequence of the environment. Any other adaptations that "do not fit the environment" get discarded via natural selection.
What is the main difference between natural selection and genetic drift?
The main difference between natural selection and genetic drift is that natural selection involves the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on their traits, leading to an increase in advantageous traits in a population over time. Genetic drift, on the other hand, is a random process that can lead to changes in allele frequencies in a population due to chance events, rather than selection pressure.
