Darwin's process of Natural Selection
There are four components in Darwin's processes of natural selection.
Variation - the differences in traits among individuals in a population.
Heritability - the passing of these traits from parents to offspring.
Differential reproduction - some individuals in a population are better suited to survive and reproduce than others due to their inherited traits.
Adaptation - beneficial characteristics become more common in a population over time through natural selection. (in the Assignment box) -
