Those that are ill suited to their environment do not survive to pass on their genetic material. Those that are do. A random mutation will not survive unless it endows its possessor with some kind of advantage.

How do invasive species affect biodiversity area?
Alien and invasive species affect the biodiversity of a area because the species keeps spreading and soon it is everywhere. Then they change the amount of resources in a area. So the other plants die and and then the animals who eat those plants die too and so on. This is how a species can affect a whole forest or biodiversity.
How can habitat alteration affect biodiversity?
Habitat alteration is a change that occurs particularly in the environment where organisms live and is considered as a threat to the survival of every known species. Alteration in habitat is usually caused by urbanization, overfishing, agriculture and coastal development.
How does speciation affect evolution?
Speciation is the process by which new biological species arise. It is part of the evolutionary process; how two or more populations of one species, when separated geographically, can gradually change over time in different ways, to become separate species.
How has climate change affected the platypus?
At this stage, climate change has had little effect upon the platypus. These animals live next to creeks and rivers in bushland and rainforests, and their waterways are more likely to be affected by man's activities such as habitat clearing and the introduction of non-native species. However, as wild weather patterns become more frequent with the natural cycle of climate change, this will affect the platypus. Widespread flooding alternating with years of drought will have an impact on the platypus's survival.
Can genes change?
Yes, they can. That is called genetic engineering.
What factors affect the survival and change of a species over time?
Adaptation is the main factor in ensuring a species survival. Part of that adaptation may mean evolutionary changes, as newer, more adaptable members of a species become dominate.

How is earth science related to enviromental science?
They both have to do with nature and the things that affect/change it such as erosion and weathering.
What is the relationship between genetic diversity and survival rate?
The more genetically diverse a species is, the higher the survival rate of that species in the presence of some kind of catastrophe or sudden change.
Does environmental change affect animal species?
yes it dose
How might enviromental factors might cause extinction?
Well, environmental factors like climate change can cause a species to die out because they were not able to adapt to their environment.
Which enviromental factor can change the activity of enzymes?
Temperature
How do the Grants data show that genetic variation is important in the survival of a species?
The Grants' work shows that variation within a species increases the likelihood of the species' adapting to and surviving environmental change.
What are some human actions that affect the survival of animal species in Canada at the present time?
Some human actions that endanger the survival of animal species in Canada include human encroachment, which means humans are quickly taking over the habitat of many wildlife species. Other dangers come from hunting.

Can the speed of a change in the environment might affect whether or not a species becomes extinct?
If the species environment is not the way the species needs it to survive then the species will become extinct. for example, if doesn't have any trees, then it cant survive.
