In your own words, describe why the orange beetles survived in relationship to what you have learned about natural selection.
Charles Darwin, brn in England,postulated natural selection, he assorted that only the strongest and fittest will survive and this he called natural selection . His theory was that the weaker species will eventually die and the strongest species will survive.
Relate this theory to one from the 19th or 20th century.
Darwin believed in Natural Selection as the major explanation for evolution. Explain how the following organisms’ interactions contribute to this theory.
1. How did organisms Have Heritable Variation help with his theory?
2. How did Organisms Compete for Resources help with his theory?
