Answer:
The theory of evolution by natural selection means that the inherited traits of a population change over time. Inherited traits are features that are passed from one generation to the next. It occurs when:
There is some variation in the inherited traits of organisms within a species.
Some of these traits will give individuals an advantage over others in surviving and reproducing.
These individuals will be likely to have more offspring.
Traits that allow a plant, animal, or other organism to survive and reproduce in its environment are called adaptations.
