Sea turtles can lay up to 110 eggs, but most of them won't survive to reproduce offspring.
Adaptations
Overproduction
Overproduction occurs when species produce more offspring that can survive.
Competition occurs individuals compete for limited resources such as food, water, and space.
Competition
Natural Selection
Both zebras and giraffes live in the same ecosystem and they both eat leaves.
Variation is the mechanism by which each individual has a unique combination of inherited traits.
Speciation
Variation

These beetles are of the same species, but they have variations which cause them to have different colors.
Adaptation is the mechanism by which organisms adjust and adapt to their new environment.
The grey caterpillar was born with a unique color that help it blend better and adapt to the environment.
The mice that blend into the environment have a better chance of survival, which will allow them to reproduce offspring which will have the same favorable trait
Natural selection is the mechanism by which organisms that are best adapted to the environment survive and reproduce more than others.
Speciation is the mechanism by which new species form during the course of evolution.
Through evolution, thousands of different bird species have formed.
