If a trait made an organism less likely to survive and reproduce what would happen to the allele for the trait?

The allele would not be passed on to further generations, as the organism cannot reproduce. There would be a smaller population of that organism who's genetic code does not contain the allele for that particular trait.

What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
If thhse tissues were in injured or diseasedwhat do you think will happen to the organism?
if these tissues were in injured or disease ,What do you think will happen to the organism?
What wil happen to organism?
Time.
What happen when an organism reproduces quickly what the population?
will the population grow faster if an organism reproduces quickly
What will happen if an organism is alone in a ecosystem?
If an organism is alone in a ecosystem it will definitely die. A single organism cannot form an ecosystem as it has to interact with other organisms.
What might happen to an organism when its living space is destroyed?
All organism will die when their space destroyed
What will most likely happen if the exposure to insectisides causes mutations to a certain species over generations?
Evolution. Certain ones of the insect species will have resistance to the insecticide due to mutation and these organisms will survive and reproduce, thus conferring this resistance on to their offspring. The change in allele frequency, the definition of evolution.
Why are some types of mutation inherited?
If a mutation happens, it will be helpful, harmful or neutral. Whether they are passed on to offspring depends on several things.Obviously, whether the organism gets a chance to reproduce.Whether the organism manages to survive long enough to reproduce, which it is unlikely to do if the mutation is harmful.Whether the gametes which are successful in the process of fertilization happen to contain that gene.
If these tissues were in injured or diseaseswhat do you think will happen to the organism?
The organism may become quite sick - or not. It may or may not survive. It all depends on the amount of damage, and the general condition of the organism in question.
What would happen to an organism that lost or never had the ability to replicate its DNA?
An organism that lost or never had the ability to replicate its DNA could not reproduce itself. This organism (and any like it) would eventually die and leave no descendents behind.
What will happen if an organism cannot reproduce?
"Many frogs croak to attract females for breeding." If a frog cannot croak, thus, reproduce, he will not live easily and a long life. In conclusion, his breed or "line" will not live on. | deltaedu/holttxtbooks

How organism adapt themselves to their environment?
Organisms adapt by tiny mutations in their DNA. It's a totally hit-or-miss process, "adaption" is really just which random, accidental, biological mistakes happen to survive long enough to reproduce. It can take thousands of years to make even a small change, or it can take just a couple months.
What happen when a population is is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Allele frequency is stable
What will happen to a organism if they transferred to another type of environment like a aquarium?
If the environment does not provide needed variables such as food, air/water, lighting, etc, then it would not survive.
Why is homeostosis important to organism?
Homeostasis is important to an organism because it is the correct living environment for that organism to live in. The human body need to stay at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, with a pH around 7.4 in most areas, and have even breathing in order for it to survive. Homeostasis allows this to happen.
What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
