Field mice are sexually-reproducing organisms. in a population of field mice, traits that promote survival and reproduction are likely to over time. traits that do not promote survival and reproduction are likely to

Traits that promote survival and reproduction are likely to over time, while traits that do not promote survival and reproduction are likely to decrease over time.
