Question

The article argues that Darwin based his proposal for evolution by natural selection on four premises. If you released a group of genetically identical pigs into the wilds of western massachusetts to fend for themselves they might slowly adapt to their environment (over many generations), but the population would not conform to one of the premises. Which one?

Select one:
a. Organisms are variable.
b. At least some of the organisms' variability is herritable.
c. More offspring are produced than required for parental replacement.
d. Most organisms have stable populations.

Answer 1

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Darwin’s theory, the phenomenon of variation explains that some traits are expressed in such ways that make individuals look different. Species with variations have a high survival rate than species with no variation. Hence, individuals could have different characteristics.

About this question, the population would not comply with the idea that organisms are variable.
