What is a heritable trait becoming common in a population?
If the mutation causes a characteristic that is carried as a dominate trait, then it can spread through a population. Also, if the characteristic that is brought about by the mutation is beneficial, the organism will be better suited to its environment than others. If the organism passes this trait to its offspring, then it is understood that they should survive in a greater ratio than those without the trait and the trait becomes common.
