successful reproduction
that makes sense because with out reproduction they're wouldn't be anyone else there besides the thing that tried to reproduce dies
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.
They are the selective agent in natural selection ;)
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.
no, inherited traits are responsible for natural selection
It hasn't. Natural selection is a key part of the ecosystem itself.

different species originated from other species
Mutation is the important " starter " of the adaptive change engendered by natural selection. Variation is key to selection and without variation in organisms there would be nothing to select from for the survival and reproductive success of the organism against the immediate environment.
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Darwin's key insights in developing the theory of natural selection were the concept of variation within a population and the idea of differential survival and reproduction. He realized that individuals within a species exhibit variation, and those with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their traits to the next generation.
The process you are referring to is called natural selection. It is a key mechanism of evolution where organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on those traits to their offspring, leading to the adaptation of populations to their environment over time.
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
A key part of Darwin's idea of natural selection is the concept of variation among individuals within a population. Darwin proposed that individuals with traits that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these advantageous traits to the next generation.
Two key factors that determine the evolution of a species are genetic variation and natural selection. Genetic variation provides the raw material for evolutionary change, while natural selection acts on this variation by favoring individuals with traits that increase their chances of survival and reproduction.
