Natural selection leads to adaptation — the increased frequency of heritable traits that improve survival or reproductive success in a given environment — and, more broadly, to evolution (changes in allele frequencies in populations over generations).
Key points: variation must exist, traits must be heritable, and individuals with advantageous traits leave more offspring. Natural selection is not goal-directed or perfect, can take the form of directional, stabilizing, or disruptive selection, and may produce trade-offs or contribute to speciation.
