$400 The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species.
$400 Natural Selection Scores
$500 The struggle between organisms for limited resources necessary for survival (food, water, shelter, space).

$100 Who is famous for proposing the theory of natural selection and getting all the credit? Who had a similar theory published at the same time?
$100 Charles Darwin and his book, “On the Origin of Species”, are credited as proposing the theory of Evolution occurring by Natural Selection. However, Alfred Wallace published a similar theory at the same time, but it was not as well formed nor accepted. Scores

$200 Lamarck Scores
$300 What is the fact of nature that causes the “struggle for existence”, as Darwin called it, or competition within a species for resources?
$300 Overproduction of offspring Scores

$400 Inference (Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection is a complicated inference based on his observations.) Scores
$500 If a species survives due to an adaption and outlasts the competition, it still will not evolve unless it….
$500 Reproduces, and passes that adaptation onto its offspring. Scores
