Natural Selection Notes
... If the environment stays the same, then natural selection favors organisms with certain adaptations. Organisms with these adaptations (traits) survive and reproduce. Organisms that do not possess these traits may not survive long enough to reproduce. The population adjusts to the environment o ...
