common because individuals with the trait will have a greater

chance of passing it on to their offspring

when they are foraging on the forest floor , According to the theory of evolution by natural selection, what is likely to  happen to this trait after several generations?

After several generations, this trait is likely to be much more  common because individuals with the trait will have a greater  chance of passing it on to their offspring,

Explanation:

It would later turn to what is termed as germline mutation which are mutations passed from parent to offspring, as time progresses the trait would be more and increases the chance of being transferred to their offspring
