Explanation:

This process is an example of natural selection. You may know it as "survival of the fittest." This means that the organisms with the best traits for surviving will survive, while the others will unfortunately die off. However, this is good for a species because it means that the future offspring will likely become more and more adapted to their habitats and the world around them!
