The process in which organisms with inherited characteristics suited to their environment are more likely to survive, reproduce and pass those characteristics to offspring.

The process by which organisms with advantageous inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those characteristics to offspring.

Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, explaining evolution through natural selection. Evolution concerns the development of life; it is not, by itself, an explanation of how the first life began.

The process through which organisms with advantageous inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce, making those characteristics more common over generations.

When explaining natural selection, include inherited variation, survival and reproduction, and the passing on of advantageous characteristics.

Natural selection is not simply survival of the strongest; it concerns inherited characteristics that help organisms survive and reproduce in their environment.

Natural selection concerns inherited differences across generations, not animals deliberately changing because they need to survive.

The process in which organisms with advantageous inherited characteristics are more likely to survive, reproduce and pass those characteristics to their offspring.

The process through which organisms with inherited characteristics better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, making those characteristics more common over generations.

Charles Darwin explained evolution through natural selection in On the Origin of Species, published in 1859. Evolution explains how living populations change and how species develop over generations; it should not be confused with an explanation of how the very first life began.

The process by which organisms with inherited characteristics suited to their environment are more likely to survive, reproduce and pass those characteristics on.

The process through which organisms with inherited characteristics suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those characteristics to offspring.

The process through which organisms with advantageous inherited characteristics tend to survive and reproduce more successfully in a particular environment.
