Natural selection is when favorable traits are passed down to offspring while harmful and less favorable traits are eliminated, due to higher predation, competition from the o â¦ rganisms with more favored traits, etc. Since organisms with more favored traits will, logically, have much more chance of surviving to reproduce than those who lack the favored traits, the next generations will slowly start to accumulate a higher percentage of organisms who have the favored traits.
If ugly, dumb, weak individuals pass on more genes, those traits will prevail in future generations. Whenever one organism leaves more successful offspring than others, in time its genes will come to dominate the population gene pool.Ultimately, natural selection operates only by differential reproductive success.f ugly, dumb, weak individuals pass on more genes, those traits will prevail in future generations.
