Typically it just dies out or is underrepresented in the next generation when it is no longer environmentally advantageous.
If it is no longer environmentally advantageos, then yes. If it is, then the genes will have be more likely to be passed down to the next generation and the next generation will have that gene as slightly more prevelant, building over time until it is the norm. I would be surprised if environmental factors changed so quickly that evolution could never keep up with it. Note I say never, as many species have gone extinct, so there must be a good number of instances in which evolution was too slow, but I think that would be more in that it was too slow to evolve in certain features, not that said features were no longer useful, but that they weren't useful enough to allow survival nonetheless.
Yes, I'm "fun" like that... Please don't eat me, I'm just expressing myself.
