Mutation is when something happens in the genes and something changes, such as it was FF and now its Ff. Natural Selection is when organisms are better adapted to their environment then other organisms. Adaptation is adapting to your environment or being adapted to it already.

Mutations and natural selection cause adaptations. Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations.

Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment.
