Question

Which of Darwin's ideas about evolution were challenged by discoveries in developmental biology? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY Most evolutionary change is gradual. Variation is unbiased, and direction comes only from selection. Offspring resemble their parents more than they resemble unrelated individuals. More offspring are born than can survive. Some forms are more successful at surviving and reproducing than other forms in a given environment.
