Natural Selection - Survival Process

The video explains how offspring inherit characteristics from their parents through genes, which can sometimes mutate, leading to new traits. A brown lizard, resulting from a mutation, gains a survival advantage due to its camouflage, illustrating natural selection. Over time, advantageous traits become more common, as seen in various species like giraffes and penguins.
