68. List AND explain the four parts of Darwin’s Natural Selection Click on screen to continue

69. Overproduction- Laying lots of eggs because some will survive and some will not. Inherited Variation- Every individual has its own combination of traits. Similar but not identical to its parents. Struggle to Survive- Some may be caught by predators, some may starve or get a disease. Only some survive to adulthood. Successful Reproduction- The individuals that are best adapted to their environment are likely to have many offspring that survive.
