Which of the following explains Darwin's theory of natural selection? 1. Individuals in a population with traits best suited for that environment survive and increase in number. 2. Present organisms are related to and descended from past organisms. 3. More recent species of organisms are changed descendants of earlier species.

Step 1
Darwin's theory of natural selection is based on the idea that individuals with traits best suited for their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This leads to an increase in the number of individuals with those advantageous traits in the Show more…

Darwin observed that not all offspring survive, and that natural populations have variation. He concluded that: Group of answer choices 1) Organisms could change their traits to match the environment 2) Organisms could pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring 3) Survival is random with respect to inherited traits 4) Organisms with traits that increased survival/reproduction would have a higher proportion of offspring in the next generation

1. what observations lead Charles Darwin to conclude that populations evolve through the process of natural selection? How does natural selection differ from other ways in which population can change?
