Definitions:

Natural Selection

A process in evolutionary biology where organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to future generations.

Genetic Variations

Differences in DNA sequences among individuals, which contribute to the population's genetic diversity.

Epigenetic Changes

Modifications to the genome that affect gene activity without altering the DNA sequence, often influenced by environmental factors.

Gene Expression

The process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, such as proteins, influencing an organism's traits.
