Question

Choose the best explanation of the difference between evolution and natural selection.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Evolution is the idea that species change over time, and natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution takes place.

Explanation:

In biology, the word "evolution" refers to  the changes in terms of genes (Genotype) and observable traits (phenotype) species undergo over time or through successive generations that led to changes within species but also to the emergence of new species as the result of mutations, genes changing or event genes being combines. On the other hand, the natural selection is one of the main mechanism that explain evolution, because natural selection refers to the prevalence of certain features that support survival and reproduction and that because of these are inherited which means those traits remain while other traits that are not favorable disappear over time which implies changes in species or evolution.  Therefore, the statement that shows the difference between evolution and natural selection is "Evolution is the idea that species change over time, and natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution takes place".

Answer 2

Answer:

Evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations.

Natural selection the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
