3.30 describe the process of evolution by means of natural selection

- Living things show variation
- The recourses living things need are limited. Individuals must compete for these resources to survive - only some will survive
- some of the varieties of a particular species will have a better chance of survival . Those varieties will have an increased chance of breeding and passing on their genes
- This means that a greater proportion of individuals in the next generation will have better alleles, and therefore better characteristics, that will help them to survive
- Over many generations, the species becomes better and better adapted to survive. The best features are naturally 'selected' and the species becomes more and more adapted to its environment.
