Question

Which example is most similar to the evidence that Darwin used to support his idea of natural selection? When a deer population outgrows its food source, the population slowly dies off. Birds that eat a variety of foods are not as well adapted to their environment as other birds. Domestic dogs and wolves share characteristics, so they must have a common ancestor. Mice that are able to blend into their environment and escape predators are likely to survive and reproduce.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mice that are able to blend into their environment and escape predators are likely to survive and reproduce.

Explanation:

Charles Darwin (1809-1882), an English naturalist, developed an evolutionary theory that underlies the modern synthetic theory: the theory of natural selection.

He used as evidence the idea that organisms better adapted to the environment have a better chance of survival than those less adapted, leaving a larger number of descendants. The best adapted organisms are therefore selected for that environment.

For this reason, we can say that the phrase "Mice that are able to blend into their environment and escape predators are likely to survive and reproduce" represents well, the evidence Darwin used to support his theory.
