Generation

**Natural selection:** Organisms with heritable traits that increase survival and reproduction in a given environment will, on average, leave more offspring than those without such traits, causing these advantageous traits to become more common in populations over generations. **Why it matters:** Natural selection is the primary mechanism explaining how species adapt to their environments and diversify over time, providing the foundation for understanding all biological diversity on Earth. It also has immediate practical applications in medicine (antibiotic resistance), agriculture (crop/livestock breeding), and conservation (species management).
