Usually, a person can acquire hepatitis A if he/she ingests contaminated food or water, further it can also spread through direct contact with the infected person.

Darwin describes natural selection as a process whereby nature selects those organisms that have favourable characteristics to be parents of the next generation. The individuals possessing the favourable traits are better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. This enables them to stand a better chance to survive in the struggle for existence due to limited resources.
