HS-LS4.2-Construct an explanation based on evidence
that the process of evolution primarily results from four
factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in
number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of
individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual
reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and
(4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better
able to survive and reproduce in the environment.

for how natural selection leads to adaptation of
populations.
