Answer:

Evolution

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in their phenotype. The organisms with the most favorable genetic traits are more likely to survive to pass on their traits to the next generation - survival of the fittest.

Natural selection drives evolution, which is the change in the inherited characteristics of a population over time. This can lead to the formation of new species.
