Introduction 

Selection in evolution refers to the process by which certain traits are favored and passed on to future generations. The process of selection occurs when individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing their advantageous traits on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to changes in the genetic makeup of populations, resulting in evolution.
