Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is long-spined cacti will survive longer and reproduce more often than short-spined cacti.
Charles Darwin proposed a theory of evolution which is called as Natural selection. According to this, nature selects those traits which give better chances of survival and reproduction to the organisms. In other words, organisms which are better adapted to their environmental conditions are selected.
The cactus with long spines protects itself from animals better than a cactus with short spines. This means that long spine gives larger chances of survival to the cactus by protecting it from animals. Thus, it is a character which is giving better adaptation to survive in the environmental conditions.
Thus, correct answer is long-spined cacti will survive longer and reproduce more often than short-spined cacti.
