Veronica wrote Charles Darwin’s main points on the board, but she made a mistake in one point.

1. Since more offspring are produced than an environment can support, organisms within a population must compete for resources to survive.

2. Due to variations within the population, some competitors will be better equipped for survival than others.

3. The best-equipped organisms will survive and will produce well-equipped offspring.

4. Variations that help with survival will be passed on to future generations and will rapidly change the whole population.

Variations that help individuals within a population to adapt are passed on to future generations and only gradually change the whole population, not rapidly.

Natural selection

The natural selection theory was proposed by Charles Darwin to explain how populations evolve with time.

According to Darwin, individuals within the same population compete for limited resources with those with stronger genes individuals being able to outcompete the weak ones.

Thus, individuals with stronger genes are able to reproduce more with their offspring inheriting the stronger genes while individuals with weak genes contribute less to the future generation.

Gradually, could take millions of years, weak genes within the population are phased out while only strong genes remain. The population is said to have evolved.
