Through natural selection‚ the organisms most capable of adapting to an environment will be the ones to pass on traits for their offspring to inherit. Although the natural process of passing on traits will supposedly take millions of years‚ geneticists have discovered that procedures such as eugenics and embryo selection will facilitate this process.
