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.
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.

Natural selection is the process of selection imposed by pressures from the environment. It has no conscious guidance or purpose, but simply selects for a population best suited to survive in the current environment.Artificial selection is the process of selection consciously imposed by humans selecting which individuals breed. This can be considered a subset of natural selection, if one considers humans as just another part of the environment other creatures must live in.
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.

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