Natural selection causes changes in populations.
Explanation: Natural selection is the process by which certain traits become more or less common in a population over time. It is driven by the differential reproductive success of individuals with certain heritable traits. Individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their genes to the next generation. As these advantageous traits become more common in the population, the overall characteristics (phenotypes) and genetic makeup (genotypes) of the population change. Therefore, natural selection acts on populations rather than individuals or their specific traits.
