How does natural selection lead to adaptation in populations?
How does natural selection lead to adaptation in populations?
Explain that natural selection occurs because populations have the capacity to produce many offspring that compete for resources; in the ‘struggle for existence’, individuals that are best adapted are most likely to survive to reproduce and pass on their alleles to the next generation
