State

Natural selection is the mechanism by which individuals whose traits better fit their environment survive and reproduce at a higher rate, shifting allele frequencies over time.

Show

Moths with a coloring that better matches tree bark are eaten less often and leave more offspring behind.

Watch for

A single organism does not undergo natural selection in its lifetime; only a reproducing population does, across generations.
