Answer:

A species refers to the group of similar organisms that can interbreed to produce a viable offspring. For example, <em>Homo sapiens </em>is a species of humans, <em>Panthera leo </em>refers to the species of lions et cetera.

In contrast, a population in ecology refers to the group of organisms of the same species living in a particular area. For example, the deer population in a forest, human population in a town et cetera.

For example, <em>Aptenodytes patagonicus </em>refers to a species of penguins but number of penguins of the same species living in a particular area would make up a penguin population of that area.

Natural selection is the process by which organisms develop variation in traits, which gives them the better chance of survival and Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Explanation:

Darwin postulated in his theory that over a period of time there are changes in physical or behavioral traits which are transferred from parent to the next generation. The changes which led to the better adaptation to the environment will help survive the organisms. Such organisms will reproduce.

Answer:

Organism having the suitable traits appears more in the population.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a non-random process in the biological traits becomes less or more common in the population due to the different rate of survival of their bearer or their differential reproduction.  

Natural selection leads to evolution because those organisms are selected to survive and reproduce which are having those traits that are better suited to a certain set of environmental conditions over others. As a result, the number of these organisms increases over time and they appear more in the population.

So natural selection leads to evolution as an organism having the suitable traits appears more in the population.

The first one refers to the ability of solve novel reasoning problems and is related to the capacity of important skills such as comprehension, learning and more. And the second one, the Crystallized intelligence refers to the ability of learn procedures and more technical knowledge about certain topics reflecting the effects of experience about that.
