Q

darwins postulates

A
  1. all organisms show variation
  2. all species produce more offspring than can survive
  3. individuals w favorable traits will tend to survive and reproduce, passing the favorable traits onto offspring
  4. the result is a change toward favorable traits in the population
  5. over time this leads to populations becoming adapted to their environment
