Determine whether each statement is true or false according to darwin’s theory.

1. organisms within a population must compete for resources to survive.
2. the least-equipped organisms may not survive.
3. over time, inheritance of beneficial variations can change the entire species.
4. over time, inheritance of beneficial variations can change the entire species.
5. some organisms will out compete others.

Resources so as food, space and light are defined in every society. Because organisms need these elements to survive, people must struggle with one another for these limited items. The individuals with traits that best utilize these resources will grow, thrive, mate and reproduce.

As per the theory Charles Darwin has witnessed that due to the restricted resources, there is a struggle for survival among individuals - often with only a fraction of offspring bearing through each generation to reproduce successfully. It is not a blind process that determines which people will reproduce and which will not, as it depends in part on the genetic/hereditary constitution of those surviving individuals.

As random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are protected because they aid survival -- a method known as "natural selection." These useful mutations are carried on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the outcome is a completely different organism (not just a modification of the original, but an entirely separate creature).

Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the generally held assumption that all life is related and has dropped from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory considers the development of life from non-life and emphasizes a purely naturalistic (directed) "descent with alteration". That is, complex creatures, evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time.

All of the plants and animals in an environment form a community. All of these living organisms need to compete with one another for survival. For example, animals will struggle for food and plants compete for light. Competition encourages the means of natural selection.

just finished the test, the answer is d, greg is the least cost-effective because he charges the most for the project

1. is geographic distribution

2 is increasing complexity

3 is transitional forms
