The Correct statements are Option B, C and E.
- The following are Darwinism's( Theory Of Evolution) main tenets:
- Abundant fertility: Every living entity has the ability to reproduce rapidly. As a result, there is a risk of the population outstripping food and other resources and the number of species may be eliminated.
- Because offspring die in large numbers before becoming capable of reproduction, Darwin proposed that the population of each species remains more or less constant.
- The struggle for existence: Overpopulation resulted in a struggle for survival, which Darwin termed "the struggle for existence."
- Variations and Heredity: Throughout the battle, each competitor strives to improve and exhibits variance. The beneficial mutations are passed down to the progeny of the species from which they originated, giving the descendants a better chance of survival.
- Natural selection or survival of the fittest: During the struggle for survival, only those individuals who are more adapted to their surroundings and show favourable variants are selected.
- Species Origin: According to Darwin, new variations arise in each generation and are passed down to the next. As a result, the descendants differ from their forefathers. This leads to the emergence of new species.
