They form spores that fall out of the plant and are inactive forms, rather like seeds, and can withstand the dry and/or cold conditions until things warm up, when they come back to life, as it were

How the environment preadators and mutations affect natural selection?

Predators create a selective pressure on a population. For example, birds that eat insects put a selective pressure on the insects to have better camouflage. Lions that run fast put a selective pressure on their prey to be able to run even faster.Its the same as a selective pressure created by the environment like adaptation to living in a cold environment. Those that can survive the cold the best live. The insects with the best camouflage survive as do the animals that can run the fastest.
