How does a population of penguins evolve?
Every year, king penguins return to breed in the same colony in which they were born. These colonies help penguins to guard, protect, and defend their young. By ensuring the success of their young, penguins pass on their genes to future generations. Variation in these genes is the basis for the evolution of populations.The genetic composition of Populations evolves through natural selection as species adapt to changes in their environment.
