Selection

Quick Revise

Natural Selection (selection pressure)

Organisms whose genes give them an advantage for survival - more likely to survive, reproduce and pass genes on

Feature arises by random mutation, and survival determines whether feature is passed on through population

Artificial Selection Breeding

Controlled for certain characteristics - new breeds but not new species

When no selection pressure, characteristics are best suited for the environment in which an organism lives
