you were RIGHT!! Natural selection is defined as the changes in the characteristics within a population that lead to survival. The organisms in any population vary from one another to some extent. These differences often have an impact on each organism's ability to survive and reproduce. Over generations, certain traits tend to be favored while other traits are not. The traits that are favored are said to be "selected" by natural selection.
