What is it?
Natural selection is a principle of survival-- those most well-suited to their environment and can gain resources easiest survive. This applies to not only to food sources but also competing with other animals for mates to breed, etc.
Who observed this?
Charles Darwin observed natural selection on the Galapagos with finches. He didn't know how the traits came about, but he did notice that the finches with a better adapted beak were populating more easily than the ones who did not.
Other Examples
Among these include birds of paradise, where the males tend to have brighter, flashy coloring and physical aids to help them attract a mate. The females have normal bird colorings.
Personal Reflection
I personally think that natural selection is super interesting. Learning about the national processes of nature is really cool and fascinating.
Are animals not as "fit" or "suited" are able to adapt to the way they are and be able to survive?
ReplyDeleteI think you did a good job explaining everything about natural selection. It helped me a lot to better understand everything.
