Human skin color is a polygenic trait, which means that multiple gene loci (with different alleles) are involved in its expression. It has been shown that there more than 350 genetic loci involved in determining skin color. Because of that, there is the enormous number of possible genotypes for the skin color and as a result, the phenotypes vary from the darkest brown to the lightest hues. Different populations have different allele frequencies of genes for human skin color, and the combination of these allele variations brings about complex and continuous variation in skin coloration. Natural skin color can change due to exposure to sunlight (becomes darker) and that is the way it adapts to intense sunlight irradiation (protection against the UV exposure).

netineya [11]

Answer: Natural selection can be defined as the differential survival and reproduction of members of the population of a species that have suitable traits to survive in a population of species.

Explanation:

The punctuated changes in the population of species have been found inordinately faster in the geological time scale, but changes per-generation have been relatively slow. Also, the rate of evolution in such a population is also slow. The punctuated changes in the population are because of evolution but the per-generation changes are the outcomes of the natural selection, in which only the beneficial traits are passed from one generation to another.
