Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution that leads to adaptive changes in a population through the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to their phenotypic characteristics. It does not directly introduce variation; instead, it acts on existing variation within a population. Meiosis, mutation, and sexual reproduction are all processes that generate or introduce genetic variation within a species or population.
