Overproduction - An organism gives birth to too many children

Genetic Variation - The offspring each have genetic differences in appearance, behavior, etc

Struggle to Survive - Offspring must fight in order to gain essential resources (food, water, mates, etc)

Successful Reproduction - Organism produces offspring with beneficial adaptations that aid in survival
