General Genetics
Adaptive evolution refers to the process through which populations of organisms become better suited to their environments over generations due to natural selection. This type of evolution results in advantageous traits being preserved and passed on, enhancing survival and reproduction in changing environmental conditions. The mechanism involves genetic variations that provide some individuals with a better chance of thriving, which directly influences the genetic makeup of future generations.
