Evolution can be defined as the process of changes in the genetic pool of a population over time. The process of natural selection operates the evolution of any population. Evolution acts upon a whole population instead upon on single individual. A single individual doesn't evolve, instead ratios of the genetic types within a population changes when it is evolving, and eventually, complete evolution occurs.

Hence, the given answer is 'true'.
