Alleles Selection Advantageous Explain Process Evolution Natural Variety

Evolution via natural selection occurs when there is phenotypic variety in a population, an environmental change alters selection pressure, individuals with advantageous alleles survive and reproduce, passing these advantages to offspring, and over time altering allele frequencies in the population.

A evolução por seleção natural ocorre quando há variedade fenotípica numa população, uma mudança ambiental altera a pressão seletiva, indivíduos com alelos vantajosos sobrevivem e reproduzem-se, passando essas vantagens para a prole e, ao longo do tempo, alterando a frequência dos alelos na população.

Front Explain the process of evolution via natural selection
Back There's a variety of different phenotypes within a population.
• An environmental change occurs and as a result of that, the selection pressure changes.
• Some individuals possess advantageous alleles which give them a selective advantage
and allow them to survive and reproduce.
• The advantageous alleles are passed on to their offspring.
• Over time, the frequency of alleles in the population changes and this leads to evolution.
