Biology

The scientific study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution.

Natural Selection

The mechanism of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin; the tendency of organisms that have favorable adaptations to their environment to survive and become the parents of the next generation. Evolution occurs when natural selection results in changes in allele frequencies in a population. Compare with artificial selection.

Organisms

Living beings that grow, reproduce, respond to external stimuli, and maintain homeostasis.
