(N/A) Each population survives and interacts within a specific environment. Any drastic change in ecological conditions can negatively impact the population,potentially leading to damage or even extinction. Organisms within a species that possess beneficial variations are more likely to survive these environmental changes. These surviving individuals can then reproduce and pass on their advantageous traits,eventually leading to the development of a new species or the adaptation of the existing one.
