Detailed explanation-1: -Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection can cause microevolution, or a change in allele frequencies over time, with fitness-increasing alleles becoming more common in the population over generations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection is the process by which certain inherited traits-such as the color of a fish, height of a person, or shape of a leaf-are favored within a population. A population is a group of organisms that mate and reproduce with one another.
