### Stages of Natural Selection**What is the order of stages in natural selection?**1. **Genetic variation exists between individuals of a population.**2. **Individuals compete with each other for food, water, and mates, and to avoid predators.**3. **Individuals with adaptive phenotypes compete better and are more likely to survive and reproduce, at the expense of...**4. **...individuals with less adaptive phenotypes and fewer competitive characteristics, which die or reproduce less.**5. **Genes for adaptive characteristics are more likely to be inherited. The number of individuals with the adaptive phenotype increases.****Explanation of Diagrams:**- The left margin contains small diagrams representing the concepts described. For example: - A green frog illustration next to step 2 emphasizes competition in nature. - Another green frog illustration next to step 3 and 4 indicates survival and reproduction. - A frog with enhanced traits is shown in step 5 to symbolize the spread of adaptive genes.- **Progress Navigation**: Below the text, there are left and right arrows indicating that this is slide 18 of 29 in a presentation. You can navigate to the previous or next slide using these arrows. **Icons:**- There are icons at the bottom right with the letters S, C, J, and a question mark. These likely represent different interactive elements or resources such as "Summary," "Checkpoints," "Journal," and "Help" respectively, to facilitate learning.This detailed breakdown provides a clear understanding of the sequence and significance of each stage in the process of natural selection, helping learners grasp this fundamental biological concept.
