What is the process that makes it more likely that organisms with the best characteristics for survival in an environment will survive reproduce and pass on genetic traits?

Answer 1

When organisms with favorable variations live, reproduce, and pass on their favorable traits, this is called natural selection. This is also characterized by the phrase "survival of the fittest" in the evolutionary process. However, this is not always the case. Many times the survival of entire species depends upon outside influences such as a devastating meteor impact, or an earthquake, or any one of the innumerable environmental influences that determine whether an organism lives or dies. Also, one must consider the environmental influences such as droughts or storms and even temperature. Though not in all cases, the genome with its many checks and balances could be the determining factor. For instance, temperature of the outside air may trigger a genome moderation that may or may not be seen in the healthiest specimens while being retained or influenced by the very sickness or vigor of the organism involved, For example, virus survive by introducing themselves to the host and the genome may or may not be influenced into modification, an occurrence that may or may not occur normally in a pristine or hearty individual. Timing is also important. For example, undersea eruptions may deliver compounds needed for modification even though the creature or organism may never encounter such except in extreme instances. Also, as in the case of the human species, the longevity of organs such as the heart and lungs tend to erode with time, mostly by continued exertion. All organisms tend to show that with longevity organs tend to just wear out and that is all there is to it. All in all, survival of the fittest certainly gives an ecological advantage but this line of departure is somewhat misleading. One must remember that all organisms are made of the same atoms and the various factors asserting influence on these atoms is consistent between the hearty and robust and the sickly and weak.

Answer 2

There are 4 processes that can create a change in a population of organisms. They are natural selection, Genes, mutation and migration.
