Organisms survive and reproduce; those that reproduce more will have their useful traits passed on, while those with worse traits have fewer offspring; over time, useful genes become part of a species, and harmful genes are removed from the population.
Organismer overlever og formerer sig; dem der formerer sig mest, vil få deres nyttige træk videregivet, mens dem med dårligere træk får færre afkom; over tid bliver nyttige gener en del af en art, og skadelige gener fjernes fra populationen.
