In some cases, the direction of evolution is intentionally controlled by humans. We call this artificial selection, or breeding - as in the breeding of cattle. In all other cases, nobody controls the direction of evolution.
Natural selection and artificial selection are not opposites; rather, they are both mechanisms of selective breeding. Natural selection occurs in nature with environmental factors determining which traits are passed on to offspring, while artificial selection is guided by human intervention to produce specific desired traits in organisms. Both processes involve the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on their inherited characteristics.
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.

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.

No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
