In nature animals are somehow selected by their environment. Animals that are best fit to their environment, are those who have adapted to the living conditions that the environment offers. Those animals that live well in one environment might not in another. As a result, individuals with genetic advantages to the environment will pass on their genes to their offspring when reproduction occurs. Surviving offsprings are the new variation of the parents genes. Survival of the Fittest.
 * Natural Selection**

EX: Pepper Moths Pollution caused a change in the moths environment, it darkened the tress. The typical moths were easy targets for predator birds, they used to camouflage well on the white lichen. Due to the pollution the trees bark turned black,genetic mutations caused the moths to change. Darker moths had a better chance of survival so the dark moths reproduced with the typical moths. The pepper moth population adapted to better fit its darker, polluted environment, and therefore have a better chance of survival.
