195 Words1 Pages
Natural selection is responsible for the large diversity among plants. Natural selection is the main evolutionary process acting on random variations within a population; an evolutionary process that produces organism better suited for their environment, thus, creating diversity among plants, and differential reproduction based on genetic constitution. In order for natural selection to occur either mutation, gene flow, or genetic drift, one or all of these will produce an inherited trait that has an effect from the environment the organism lives in.
The most powerful of these agents is mutation, which is the change in a cell’s DNA; which can caused by environmental mutations, or occur normally. Mutations that favor the environment of the
