Natural Selection

What is Natural Selection?

• Natural selection is a process that helps living things adapt to their environments.
• It explains how species change over time.
• Organisms with traits that help them survive are more likely to reproduce.

Variations in Characteristics

• Every species has different traits, like color or size.
• These differences are called variations.
• Some variations are helpful in finding food, escaping predators, or attracting mates.

Advantages of Variations

• Traits that help an animal survive are called advantageous traits.
• For example, a rabbit that is faster might escape from predators better than a slower rabbit.
• Animals with advantageous traits can find mates more easily and have more babies.

Example: Peppered Moths

• Before the Industrial Revolution, most peppered moths were light-colored.
• When pollution darkened trees, darker moths were better camouflaged.
• They survived more often and had more offspring.

How Do Traits Get Passed Down?

• Traits are passed from parents to their young through genes.
• The young inherit characteristics that help them survive in their environment.
• Over many generations, helpful traits become more common in a population.

What Happens When Environments Change?

• If an environment changes, some advantages might become disadvantages.
• Organisms that can adapt quickly will survive, while others may struggle.
• Example: A drier climate may favor plants that require less water.

Why is Natural Selection Important?

• Natural selection helps populations evolve over time.
• It ensures that species can survive in changing environments.
• Understanding natural selection helps us learn about our own environment and how to protect it.
