explain the theory of organ of species by natural selection
Answers
Explanation:
The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring.
The theory of natural selection proposed by Darwin in the year 1859 (Darwinism) : This theory states that the organisms evolution through natural selection and accumulation of inheritable variations.
Some of the features of the theory are :-
1. Limited food and space:- continuous consumption of food causes scarcity and even population of different species cannot increase their consumption beyond a certain limit.
2. Struggle for existence:- It is said, “Survival of the fittest”. So there are always competition going on among organisms for resources.
3. Variations:- New species arrive when there are variations such as in structure, size and physiology.
4. Inheritance of useful variations:- Next generation acquires the same process to get variations and natural selection. And formation of new variations by accumulations completely produces new species.
