The statement that is not part of the concept of natural selection is: **"Genes of an individual adapt to a changing environment."**
Natural selection does not involve the adaptation of genes within an individual; rather, it is the population over generations that exhibits changes as individuals with favorable traits reproduce more successfully. Individual organisms do not change their genes in response to the environment; instead, the variation in genetic traits present in the population determines which individuals are better suited for survival and reproduction.
