In 1859, Charles Darwin proposed that differential survival and reduction of individuals would produce changes in species population over time. In other words, the environment acting on variation of individuals within a population would result in an adaptation (an evolutionary process that results in morphological, physiological or behavioral changes at the population level and that increases the probability of the members of that population to survive and their reproductive success). Using a specific example, explain how natural selection explains the theory of evolution. Also include in your explanation and within your example, what are the 4 factors needed for natural selection to act

Answer:

Reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolution occurs in organisms due to natural selection process because natural resources are limited. Evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations. If evolution occurs in the organisms so these evoluted organisms can survive rate more than those organisms where no evolution occurs because the evoluted organisms can adopt successfully the features of environment. Reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms are the four factors needed for natural selection to act.
