Natural selection is a process where an organism within a species has specific traits that allow them to survive and reproduce. Natural selection occurs when at least one organism in a species contains a trait that improves their ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment. These traits are created by a process called mutation, which is an alteration in one of the genes in a genome that creates an unusual change in an organism, whether it be internal or external. These mutations can either be good or bad, depending on whether it aids the fitness of an organism. Fitness is essentially the ability to survive to reproductive age, find a mate, and produce an offspring. When individual organisms within their species don’t have a fit
