How can competition contribute to evolution through natural selection?

Answer 1

Answer: During competition, organisms that have favorable traits for this task will survive and are said to be selected. These organisms will reproduce and pass on those traits to their offspring. Thus, the frequency of organisms with those traits will increase

Explanation: In Darwin's theory on the mechanism of evolution, competition among living things is viewed as a major part of the “struggle for existence” and therefore as a basis for natural selection (Darwin 1872).

Answer 2

Intraspecific competition occurs between members of the same species. For example, two male birds of the same species might compete for mates in the same area. This type of competition is a basic factor in natural selection. It leads to the evolution of better adaptations within a species.
