Detailed explanation-1: -The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down allow organisms to adapt to the environment better than other organisms of the same species. This enables better survival and reproduction compared with other members of the species, leading to evolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -The more successful an individual is at obtaining food and avoiding predators (not becoming prey), the more likely it is to thrive, and have more offspring, a process known as natural selection. This “survival of the fittest” drives species surviving as a whole, the process of Evolution.
Detailed explanation-3: -In biology, fitness is the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce.
Detailed explanation-4: -All species must reproduce to survive. Organisms cannot live forever, so they must reproduce to allow their species to continue to live on. Reproduction is nature’s way of allowing a species to survive. A male and a female of a species mate in order to pass their genetic information on to their offspring.
