Why is natural selection considered a probabilistic process?
September 26, 2020 | Education
| Hereditary changes in individuals of the same population occur in different directions and can be very diverse under the same environmental conditions. Therefore, natural selection is a probabilistic process. Acting in different directions, it can lead to different results. However, all of them provide organisms (both species and populations) with preferential survival and reproduction in specific environmental conditions.
Natural selection is a directed but probabilistic process.
