Individuals with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully  

natural selection

No mutations, no gene flow, no migration, no natural selection, and has a large population are factors of

Hardy weinberg equilibrium

Hardy Weinberg equilibrium refers to a state where allele and genotype frequency are

constant
