Natural selection: the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring, (charles darwin) (works at a population level) Insecticides are produced (ie bed nets) but they mutate/become resistant from generation to generation. Main concepts of natural selection: not all individuals of a species reproduce equally, most populations are relatively stable, resources are limited, individuals are not alike: variation, genetic differences, inter-individual variation can be inherited.
