Question

The explanation "Organisms can produce more offspring than can survive. Therefore, they must compete against each other for resources." Best matches with which main principle of natural selection?Survival of the fittestDescent with modificationAdaptationOverproduction

Answer 1

The answer is Overproduction

By definition in biological terms, overproduction means that each generation has more offspring that can be supported by its environment and it results to competition for limited resources.

The survival of the fittest's main idea is that the organisms or species that are well adapted to their environment have higher chances of survival.

The descent with modification proposes the idea that species undergo changes over time that produces new species in whcih they share a common ancestor.

Adaptation means organisms learn to adjust to their new environment.
