Document Summary
Variation variation among individuals in a population. Heredity progeny resemble their parents more than unrelated individuals. Selection some forms better at surviving and breeding in a given environment. **note: darwin had no understanding of genetics and the mechanism of inheritance. Genotype genetic constitution of an organism used in relation to a particular gene or gene combinations (e. g. , aa, aabb) on which natural selection indirectly acts. Phenotype the organism as observed used when discussing a trait or a feature of an organism that varies on which what naturally selection directly acts.
