Detailed explanation-1: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Favorable and Unfavorable Traits Those lacking the favorable traits-the “unfit"-most likely won’t live long enough to pass down their unfavorable traits, and eventually, those traits will be bred out of the population.

Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection is sometimes summed up as “survival of the fittest” because the “fittest” organisms-those most suited to their environment-are the ones that reproduce most successfully, and are most likely to pass on their traits to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.
