You conduct an exercišé iñ the conditions under which survival of snails is selective-that is, snails with thicker shells are less likely to be preyed on by crabs than snails with thinner shells. The default settings also ensure the trait is heritable, and the population has variation in this trait. You allow mutations to occur. As you run the simulation, you observe that the mean shell thickness of the population increases over successive snail generations. Have you successfully simulated natural selection?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
