Natural selection will only cause evolution if there is enough genetic variation in a population. Before the discovery of Mendelian genetics, one common hypothesis was blending inheritance. But with blending inheritance, genetic variance would be rapidly lost, making evolution by natural selection implausible.
The forces of evolution. In the above examples, the populations of worms are not evolving--neither the genotypes nor phenotypes are changing. For evolution to occur, there must be mutation, selection, or random genetic drift. These are the three major forces of evolution. The cause changes in genotypes and phenotypes over time. They also determine the amount and kind of variation seen in a population at a given time.
