Which of the following is NOT an observation upon which Darwin's theory of natural selection was based? Populations have the potential to increase exponentially in number. Environmental resources are limited. All characteristics can be transmitted from one generation to the next. ALL of these are observations upon which Darwin's theory of natural selection was based. Real populations do not increase in size exponentially.

Darwin's theory of natural selection does NOT include which of the following ideas? There is some variation within a population. Competition between populations increases variation. Individuals with advantageous characteristics tend to survive. Survivors pass their advantageous characteristics to their offspring. Most species overproduce offspring.

Natural selection can cause populations to diverge based on factors like food preference and habitats. A majority of evolutionary biologists now agree that natural selection is the most important mechanism promoting divergence between populations. Sexual selection can also lead to speciation. Consider ways in which sexual selection can lead to reproductive isolation and thus to speciation. How can environmental factors work with mating preferences to influence divergence?
