Introduction:

The alteration in the frequencies of alleles in a population, which occurs within a period, is known as microevolution. It explains alteration in expression of the traits of the individuals in a population along with time. The natural selection leads to the chance of survival of those individuals who have a diversity of genes and are fit for survival. The organisms having better adapting features will more reproduce and long-lived, which is favored by the natural selection. This will lead to the increased chances of survival.
