Amajor misconceptionabout natural selection is that this mechanism "gives orginisms what they want or need so they can adapt to their enviorment." explain why this is not correct

It does not dive them what they want or need.

Explanation:

In natural selection it is the complete opposite. In natural selection the animal has to adapt to the environment with all of the traits it has or develop another trait. If it doesn't adapt then the popular saying "Survival of the fittest" becomes true.

No this is wrong because the species is in a group with variations and the ones with favorable features survive hence the term “survival of the fittest” so the Best features will survive and continue to give their offspring the favored features
