Natural selection occurs through a 5 step process: 1) Variation exists within populations, 2) Organisms compete for limited resources, 3) Organisms produce more offspring than can survive, 4) Genetic traits are passed to offspring, 5) Those organisms with traits most beneficial to survival and reproduction are more likely to survive and reproduce. The document also lists key terms related to biological evolution such as mass extinction, homologous structures, and vestigial structures.

- 3. Natural Selection 1 . Variation: There is Variation in Every Population. 2. Competition: Organisms Compete for limited resources. 3. Offspring: Organisms produce more Offspring than can survive. 4. Genetics: Organisms pass Genetic traits on to their offspring. 5. Natural Selection: Those organisms with the Most Beneficial Traits are more likely to Survive and Reproduce. Natural Selection The order is not that important. The fact that all of the steps are intertwined IS important!
