How Natural Selection Drives Adaptation and Survival

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a clear and engaging introduction to the biological concepts of natural selection, adaptation, and genetic diversity. The host, Tony, begins by drawing an analogy between personal life changes—like moving schools—and the biological imperative for species to adapt to changing environments. The video connects previous lessons on DNA and heredity to the broader mechanism of evolution, explaining that traits are not random but serve specific purposes that enhance an organism's "fitness," defined here as the ability to survive and reproduce.
