Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the three main principles of evolution: Variation, Heredity, and Selection.
Variation refers to the differences in traits among individuals within a population.
Heredity is the principle that traits are passed from parents to offspring through genetic information.
Selection involves the process by which certain traits become more common in a population due to advantages in survival and reproduction.
Recognize that Mutation, while important in evolution as a source of genetic variation, is not one of the three main principles listed here.
