Well, let me help you to see the relevance. At the same time, I'm going to show you why "improvement" is a horrible way to talk about evolution.
Let's add insult to injury (as if my poor thirsty shaded plants lives weren't already bad enough)- suppose that the shaded group had "improved" genes. They had it within them to grow faster, heartier, resist frost much more adequately. Unfortunately, none of that matters, and none of it will be expressed in future populations on their count - because they didn;t get enough sunlight or moisture to pass those genes along. In this case the "lesser" genes won...and whatever a's, b's, or c's (go through the whole alphabet twice) they pass on will have had nothing to do with it. They simply survived.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
