Natural selection does not change the alleles an organism has.
Explanation: Natural selection acts on individuals (which may survive and reproduce differentially), but it does not alter an individual’s genotype. Evolutionary change (changes in allele frequencies) occurs at the population level across generations; mutations, not selection itself, create new alleles.
