Evolution is the gradual process resulting in the changes in the genetic material of a population over generations. The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is the process of natural selection. Natural selection is the key mechanism of evolution which increases the frequency of advantageous alleles in a population.  Due to the limited resources in nature, organism with heritable traits favoring their survival and reproduction produce more offspring. It causes the population to become adapted to their environment and results in organisms with better survival ability and reproduction. These traits become heritable due to the reproductive advantage and are passed from the parents to the offspring. Over generations, the advantageous heritable trait becomes dominant in the population. It is responsible for the variation in the gene pool of the population which increases their fitness.

If female deer mates with male deer that have large antlers 2 we are witnessing_____ selection.
valkas [14]
The answer would be natural selection.

The female deer might consider the large antlers of the male deer to show of certain genetic qualities that have a higher probability of reproduction, as well as a higher social status among  deers. 

This means that if she picks him as her mate during this season, their offspring will have a better chance of survival compared to her picking another deer with smaller antlers.

This is called natural selection because she will pick the deer that is most adapted to that environment. Thus their offspring can be ensured to have the highest possible probability to survive.
