How can natural selection result
in the adaptation of a population?

The traits of those who died before reproducing deemed "undisireable" (like a tale,scales,wings etc.) would have died out as they would not have had the opportunity to pass on these genes. Those of the same species who survived due to a lack of the "undisireable" trait would have the opportunity to reproduce and pass on the complete lack of the trait itself or a smaller version of the trait. This is what enables different species to adapt to live in different enviorments,you can observe this in different species that share a common ancestor.

Explanation: It's kind of in the answer

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
