Natural Selection Page 59 Mutations • Errors in DNA that typically occur when a cell divides- accidental and random! • Sometimes, mutations produce a new trait • Whether the trait is good or bad depends on the environment Charles Darwin • Proposed the theory of Natural Selection in 1859 • Wrote “On the Origin of Species” to explain evolution Natural • Selection A process in which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than others-passing on successful traits to offspring. • “Survival of the Fittest” • Similar to the idea of selective breeding (like what we see with dogs) The Peppered Moth
