Detailed explanation-1: -Finally, the most famous mechanism of evolution! Natural selection occurs when one allele (or combination of alleles of different genes) makes an organism more or less fit, that is, able to survive and reproduce in a given environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gene flow is the movement of genes into or out of a population. Such movement may be due to migration of individual organisms that reproduce in their new populations, or to the movement of gametes (e.g., as a consequence of pollen transfer among plants).
Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection is considered the main mechanism that causes populations to evolve. However, there are several other mechanisms of evolution, including mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow.
