Interactor
Encyclopedia
Interactor is a term used to describe a part of an organism with evolution
selection acts upon. Interactors are the individual evolutionary paths which are subject to real-life interactions, such as phenotype
and the outward traits most affected by natural selection
. In this way the interactor interacts with the environment in a way which creates differential reproduction.
Evolution
Evolution is any change across successive generations in the heritable characteristics of biological populations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.Life on Earth...

Natural selection
Natural selection is the nonrandom process by which biologic traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of differential reproduction of their bearers. It is a key mechanism of evolution....
