The theory of natural selection is based on the following assumptions about the nature of living things:
1. All organisms produce more offspring than can survive.
2. No two organisms are exactly alike.
3. Among organisms, there is a constant struggle for survival.
4. Individuals that possess favorable characteristics for their environment have a higher rate of survival and produce more offspring.
5. Favorable characteristics become more common in the species, and unfavorable characteristics are lost.

What causes the allele frequencies to changes?
1. Mutation 2. Migration (Gene Flow): both immigration and emigration. 3. Genetic Drift 4. Sexual Selection (Non-random mating) 5. Natural Selection: those most fit survive to pass on their genes to the next generation.
What is the mechanism that allows organisms to evolve?
1) Natural Selection 2) Climate changes 3) Geographical events 4) Radiations of organism into new habitats 5) Changes in ecosystem 6) Changes in continental position Above are mechanisms of selection, the environment, basically. Mechanisms of evolution are; mutation, gene flow. genetic drift and most importantly for adaptive changes, natural selection
What are the 5 ways a population can evolve?
A population will most likely evolve when there is a small population, mutations exists, natural selection may take place, nonrandom mating occurs, and/or gene flow may occur. Sexual selection, genetic drift, Gene flow, Mutation, and natural selection are five ways a population can evolve. Sexual selection is natural selection arising through preference by one sex for certain characteristics in individuals of the other sex. Genetic drift is variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce. Gene flow is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. Mutation is the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes. Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.
