Describe Darwin’s theory or Natural Selection.
Feeling fancy? Try comparing it to Lemrack’s theory?

can we do this by hand on paper and how much should we do?
No paper this time! Besides. Now you’ve arrived here you might as well stick it here in the comments!
PS- How long is a piece of string? 🙂
By which I mean answer the question in as few words as possible. While maintaining the consistent and rigorous application of standard English, of course.
Natural selection is the process in which animals and plants gain new features of modifications making them better to survive in there habitat so that they can produce more then there brothers since they don’t have that feature and so they die out and the new ones survive. then they produce more offspring with these modification and become a more dominant species
I would argue this is a description but not at the standard required. How do these modifications occur? Over what timescale? Why is is called selection if no one being is making a decision?
the modifications will ocuar over millions of years and the are requied by random chance

the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin, and it is now regarded as be the main process that brings about evolution.
How to these adaptations first arise though? Think molecular biology here.

Thanks! I’ve dropped a comment on your blog. In need of a tweak or two but I loved it!
okay thanks!
Natural selection is when a characteristic allows an organism to survive to produce offspring and then the characteristic is passed on to the next generation and so on, until the characteristic appears in all of the individuals in that species.
I really love that you mentioned species here. I’d like you to add something here though. How do these adaptations initially arise. Clue- there aren’t inherited!
Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection is that more things are produced each generation that can survive. Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive. For example if a animal has a long neck in a place where food only grows on trees it will survive
Excellent use of heritable. Love that word. Where do these new characteristics come from though. Think DNA!

The piece titled ‘Natural selection’
The process by which forms of life having traits that better enable them to adapt to specific environmental pressures, as predators, changes in climate, or competition for food or mates, will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers than others of their kind, thus ensuring the perpetuation of those favorable traits in succeeding gener
Agreed. Like many others above, you need to mention DNA. Where does it come in?
Natural Selection is a process fundamental to evolution as described by Charles Darwin. By natural selection, any characteristic of an individual that allows it to survive to produce more offspring will eventually appear in every individual of the species, simply because those members will have more offspring.
Remember: a good adaptation doesn’t ensure survival. It just increases the chances! Also- how does DNA play a part here?
