What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.
There are really no steps in natural selection - just conditions required for it to occur.
Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
Everything from available food to climate will cause the changes we see in natural selection. Random mutations occur constantly and when those mutations are beneficial for life, the genetic code is more likely to be passed on to future generations.

Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
the presence of predators
Natural selection may not occur in a population if there is no variation in traits among individuals, if all traits are selectively neutral, or if the environment is stable and consistently favors all individuals equally. Additionally, if all individuals are equally successful in reproducing and passing on their genes, natural selection may not be operating in that population.
no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon
Natural selection
Genetic variation is necessary for natural selection to occur. This variation provides the raw material for differential survival and reproduction, which drives the process of natural selection. Without genetic variation, there would be no differences for natural selection to act upon.

genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, and migration
Natural selection requires variation in traits within a population, heritability of those traits, and differential reproductive success based on those traits. Without these components, natural selection cannot act on a population.
For evolution by natural selection to occur, differences in fitness among individuals must arise due to variations in a characteristic. If the variation in a characteristic does not affect an organism's ability to survive and reproduce (i.e., fitness), there will be no selection pressure acting on that characteristic, and thus no evolution by natural selection will occur.
