Answer:

Natural selection is the process by which organisms which are not as well adapted to their environment do not survive long enough to pass their less favorable traits on to the next generation of their species. Eventually, the more favorable traits are incorporated into a species as the organisms that had those traits survive while the ones who do not die. This process takes time because it occurs through individuals with the favorable traits passing those traits on to future generations. Typically, the less favorable traits will not be eradicated in one generation.
