|
|
Genetic traits that aid evolution are not passed on to offspring.
|
|
|
Variation does not exist between members of the same species.
|
|
|
Populations will change over time to better fit their environment.
|
|
|
No more offspring are born into a population than can survive.

Detailed explanation-1: -Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.
Detailed explanation-2: -Through this process of natural selection, favorable traits are transmitted through generations. Natural selection can lead to speciation, where one species gives rise to a new and distinctly different species. It is one of the processes that drives evolution and helps to explain the diversity of life on Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive and reproduce.
Detailed explanation-4: -Evolution is the process by which species adapt over time in response to their changing environment. Use these ideas to teach about the water cycle in your classroom. Evolution is an important field of study for scientists.
