Selection, in terms of evolutions, is the process by which advantageous traits in a population are passed on by the carriers who are able to survive and reproduce due to the advantage that this trait gives them. Less advantageous traits are thus not "selected" and passed on to the next generation because these individuals are less "fit" for the environment and are out-competed by the individuals with the more advantageous traits. Therefore, only the traits that make an organism most "fit" for the environment are passed on.
