Natural selection is when favorable traits are passed down to offspring while harmful and less favorable traits are eliminated, due to higher predation, competition from the o â¦ rganisms with more favored traits, etc. Since organisms with more favored traits will, logically, have much more chance of surviving to reproduce than those who lack the favored traits, the next generations will slowly start to accumulate a higher percentage of organisms who have the favored traits.
Inherited Characteristic of an organism that enhances its survival and reproduction in a specific environment Explain the process of natural selection. Individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates then other individuals It is important to remember that differences in heritable traits can lead to differential reproductive success. This means that the individuals who have the necessary traits to promote survival in the current environment will leave the most offspring. How can this differential reproductive success affect the match between organisms and their environment?
