The statement that is not part of the concept of natural selection is:
**Genes of an individual adapt to a changing environment.**
This statement is misleading because natural selection acts on existing genetic variations within a population; it does not involve individuals adapting their genes during their lifetime. Instead, it is populations that evolve over time as advantageous traits become more common due to differential reproductive success.
