Explain the process of natural selection with an example.

Natural selection is the process of animals choosing their own traits based on their environment.

Natural selection is the process of humans selecting which organisms will survive and reproduce.

Natural selection is the process of random genetic mutations causing changes in a population.

The process of natural selection can be explained with the example of the peppered moth in England during the industrial revolution. Prior to the industrial revolution, the light-colored moths were well camouflaged against the light-colored trees. However, as the industrial revolution caused pollution and darkened the trees, the dark-colored moths became better camouflaged and had a higher survival rate. As a result, the frequency of dark-colored moths increased in the population.
