The part "a species ~individuals survive" in the following sentence grammatically correct?
--- the following -----------
By constantly making new mixes of the parent plants' different properties, a species is more likely that some individuals survive.

[lotus]

Hi Jays,

No.

I'm not a botanist, but you can try:

By constantly mixing the parent plant's properties, the individual plants of a species are more likely to survive.

Or,

The individual plants of a species are more likely to survive if you constantly mix the parent plant's properties.

Cross pollination?
