Question

Malthus studied limited resources and the impact of limited resources on human populations. How did these ideas contribute to Darwin's ideas?

A. Limited resources in an environment forces more genetic changes in individuals, allowing the species to evolve more quickly.

B. Limited resources in an environment means that the individuals of a species cooperate so that all individuals survive.

C. Limited resources in an environment forces some individuals to survive without food.

D. Limited resources in an environment means that not all individuals of a species will survive or reproduce at equal rates.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option (C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Malthus had stated that the population growth was exponential. He explained the relationship between population growth and resources.

Malthus study on population growth and limited resources on human population has contributed to the Darwin's idea of evolution. Limited resources in a population allows the survival of some individual species only. Natural selection favors the selected population and species adapt in the environment and transfer beneficial allele to its next generation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
