Expert Solution

Step 1
The concept of natural selection was first explain by Charles Darwin. According to this concept those individuals who are fit, are able to pass on their gametes to future generations allowing them to survive. On the contrary, those organisms who are weak are unable to reproduce and thus die lose their genes forever.
