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-3: -Galapagos Finches First, when a large drought affected the island in 1977, seeds became scarce. Finches with the largest, toughest beaks were able to eat larger seeds that weren’t typically part of their diet. As a result, they survived. Finches with smaller beaks were unable to crack the tough seeds and many died.
