What is it called when the environment affects which organisms will live or die?

What is Darwins theory in simple terms?

Darwin's theory of evolution states that species change over time through a process called natural selection. This process involves individuals with traits better suited to their environment being more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those favorable traits on to the next generation. Over many generations, this can lead to the development of new species.


What are any inherited characteristic that increases an organisms chance of survival called?

Successful adaptations enable organisms to become better suited to their environment, better able to survive and reproduce. Darwin also used the word adaptation to describe any inherited characteristic that increases an animal's or plant's fitness for survival."-Prentice Hall Biology Text book.

What is the generations on a tamagotchi?

Basically the genrations on a Tamagotchi shows how many children your Tamagotchi have before it passes away, as in, Abba has a child called Babba and Babba has a child called Cat. Cat is the third generation of that Tamagotchi. But if your Tamagotchi passes away, the new Tamagotchi is the first generation. The generations of a Tamagotchi can show a rough guide to how well you care for it. The higher the number, the more children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and so on the orignal Tamagotchi has, and the better you care for your Tamagotchi.
