What are the principles of natural selection?
For natural selection to occur, four basic conditions are necessary:
- Reproduction: organisms must reproduce to form new generations;
- Variability: there must be differences between individuals in the population;

In this case we have the Disruptive selection is one in which extremes are favored and intermediate organisms are eliminated. An example of this type of selection can be seen in some African finches that are adapted to eating seeds.
