EastWind [94]3 years ago

The process that Darwin described as "descent with modification" is the process of evolution.

"Descent with modification" is one of the fundamental ideas behind Darwin's theory of evolution. According to Darwin, the characteristics of an organism are inherited. Offspring with inherited characteristics which allows them to compete best with the limited resources in the environment will survive. Organisms will pass the traits providing an advantage to survive and reproduce to the next generations. Over time and generations, the traits providing reproductive advantage will become common among the polpulation. This will lead to change in populations over generations in a process called the "descent with modification".

What is the life cycle of a butterfly?
Naddika [18.5K]
Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, and their life cycle contains 4 stages.

First, they are born as an egg. 

Then, they are hatched as a larva. They now eat flowers and leaves and will molt constantly. 

Next, they become a chrysalis, or a pupa. This is a resting stage.

Then is the long awaited adult stage, where butterflies take the form of the beloved, beautiful, winged insects we've come to admire. They no long grow and will now reproduce and repeat the cycle.

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
