Natural selection is a process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive, reproduce, increase in number, and pass their traits to succeeding generations. Adaptations are inherited or learned traits that increase an organism's chance of survival in an environment. Evolution is a process of change in a population through genetic variation over time. Natural selection drives evolution.
<span>Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.</span>
