Describe the process of evolution by natural selection

Evolution by natural selection occurs through mutations within organisms of the same species that makes every organism slightly different. Those organisms with the favourable mutation for the environment were more likely to survive and so those organisms would go on to reproduce and pass on the successful gene to offspring, whereas the organisms without the favourable mutation would die.
