Question
D. Be Like Charles Darwin
Direction: Read and answer the given tasks.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) is known for his theory of evolution by natural selection. He
proposed the idea of natural selection to explain how species change over time. Below is the
summary of Darwin's idea of natural selection.
1. In nature, organisms overproduce to survive.
2. In any population, the members have a variety of traits. They may differ, for
example, in color, size, or speed.
3. Individuals with certain variations, such as a useful camouflage, or speed, survive in
their environment. Then, they pass those variations to the next generation.
4. Eventually, offspring with specific adaptations make up majority of the population and
may look completely different from their ancestors.
