variation

inheritance
traits are passed from the parents to their offspring
not all organisms will survive, its either \for\ or \against\
them
species within a population will have different traits
the ones with the best fit traits survive and reproduce

Explanation:

• Variation: Species within a population will have different traits. This is the basis for natural selection as it provides the raw material (different traits) for the process.
• Adaptation: The ones with the best - fit traits survive and reproduce. Adaptations are traits that enhance an organism's survival and reproductive success in a particular environment.
• Selection: Not all organisms will survive, it's either "for" or "against" them. Natural selection acts on the variation in a population, favoring some traits over others.
• Inheritance: Traits are passed from the parents to their offspring. This is crucial for the continuation of favorable traits in a population over generations.

Answer:

variation - species within a population will have different traits; adaptation - the ones with the best fit traits survive and reproduce; selection - not all organisms will survive, it's either "for" or "against" them; inheritance - traits are passed from the parents to their offspring.
