Describe the process of natural selection.

The process of natural selection suggests that over a gradual period of time, desired traits that are favorable become more common in offspring, as unsuccessful species continue to struggle, and may eventually die off, making those with favorable traits more common.

And btw, as a tip, I would suggest you to give an example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One good example may be, say, crickets in a rainforest: their habitats are on green plants, so which traits would you say are more favorable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Birds are their predators, and with a keen eyesight can easily spot crickets with a contrast color, so naturally, crickets with a color that doesn’t work as a “camouflage” to green would die off - eaten by birds and other predators, so the ones with favorable traits, such as a camouflage color of green, would remain. These crickets would pass down these traits of having a green color through reproduction, and their offspring would continue to have a green color as well, demonstrating natural selection. Keep in mind that some offspring may have a genetic mutation, giving them the probability of having unfavorable traits, such as a magenta phenotype (visible outer appearance).
