The term editor is a metaphor for natural selection because natural selection edits the naturally occurring heritable variation by favoring one genotype over another. It causes a change in population gene frequencies because it chooses those who will live and pass on their genes to the next generation.
What do you mean by natural selection?
- In natural selection, those variations in the genotype (the entire complex of genes inherited from both parents) that increase the organism's chances of survival and reproduction are preserved and multiplied from generation to generation at the expense of less advantageous variations. Evolution often occurs as a result of this process.
- Natural selection can arise from differences in survival, fecundity, developmental rate, mating success, or any other aspect of the life cycle. All these differences lead to natural selection to the extent that they affect the number of offspring an organism leaves behind.
