Yes. In 1989, there was a deer which was unable to escape its predator. It died before it got to reproduce. Any unique heritable traits that it might have had were therfore selected out of the population.
Natural selection will see to it that genes from the strongest and more fertile bucks and does are passed down susequent generations.
Deer are faster and more agile than timber wolves, allowing them to easily outmaneuver their predators in a chase. This enables the deer to run in a zig-zag pattern, making it difficult for the wolf to anticipate its movements and catch it.
This process is called natural selection. It is the mechanism by which traits that provide a survival or reproductive advantage to an organism become more common in a population over time.
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
Natural Selection vs. Sexual Selection | Aspect | Natural Selection | Sexual Selection | |----------------------|------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | Definition | The process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce. | A form of selection arising from the preference of one sex for specific traits in the other sex. | | Mechanism | Driven by environmental factors and survival advantages. | Driven by mate choice and competition for mates. | | Examples | Camouflage, resistance to disease, and resource acquisition. | Bright plumage in birds, elaborate courtship behaviors, and antlers in male deer. | | Outcome | Increases overall fitness and adaptation of the population. | Enhances reproductive success, potentially at the cost of survival. |

Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
the mean reson why animals become extinct due to natural selection is the never ending stuggle for food, for examlpe lets say a deer was liveing in africa and the trees was to high. for the deer to get any leaf's (food) the animal would have to go thew phisical and mental change's.(due to a mutacion in the dna) if not the deer would die because their would be no possible way for the animal to get any food.
sexual selection.

Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
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.
