Answer 4

The process you are referring to is called natural selection. Natural selection is the mechanism by which individuals with traits that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce compared to individuals with less favorable traits. Over time, this leads to a gradual change in the traits of a population, which is known as evolution. Cloning and selective breeding are human-driven processes that can also lead to adaptation, but they are not the same as natural selection.
