Natural selection is way that evolution works. Whatever is in the environment selects traits that will work best in that environment. If the area that animals are in is very dry, only those that can adapt to it will survive. If it is very cold, only ones with heavy fur or the ability to hibernate will survive. This why it is called the survival of the fittest.
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.
It hasn't. Natural selection is a key part of the ecosystem itself.
Natural selection is the mechanism primarily responsible for the development of today's biodiversity.
Learned behaviors can influence natural selection by affecting an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. While natural selection primarily concerns genetic traits that are heritable, learned behaviors can enhance survival by allowing individuals to adapt to changing conditions or improve their foraging, mating, and social interactions. If these learned behaviors lead to greater reproductive success, they may indirectly influence the evolution of species over time. However, since learned behaviors are not directly passed down genetically, their impact on natural selection is often more complex and context-dependent.

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.

That selection was natural.
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.

They are the selective agent in natural selection ;)
