The survival of an organism during the struggle for existence is not random, but depends on:

Explanation

According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, the survival of an organism is influenced by its genetic constitution. Organisms with favorable genetic traits that enhance their ability to survive and reproduce are more likely to pass these traits on to the next generation. While overproduction and the ability to acquire new characteristics can influence reproductive success, these factors are inherently reliant on genetic factors. Overeating, on the other hand, is not typically advantageous and can be harmful, reducing an organism's fitness in its environment.
