Increases the offspring’s chance of survival

Detailed explanation-1: -Organisms with heritable (genetically determined) features that help them survive and reproduce in a particular environment tend to leave more offspring than their peers. If this continues over generations, the heritable features that aid survival and reproduction will become more and more common in the population.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because resources are limited, more organisms are born than can survive: some individuals will be more successful at finding food, mating or avoiding predators and will have a better chance to thrive, reproduce, and pass on, their DNA. Small variations can influence whether or not an individual lives and reproduces.
Detailed explanation-4: -In a genetically diverse population, there will be many traits present. A species is more likely to survive if it is genetically diverse, because it has a variety of different possible adaptations. Darwin studied how populations changed over time.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: An inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival is called Adaptation.
