LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Overproduction of offspring’s leads to competition among individuals in which the fittest and adapted individual survives. Overproduction is also known as a driving force in natural selection as it can lead to adaptation and variation in a species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because resources are limited, more organisms are born than can survive: some individuals will be more successful at finding food, mating or avoiding predators and will have a better chance to thrive, reproduce, and pass on, their DNA. Small variations can influence whether or not an individual lives and reproduces.

Detailed explanation-3: -Darwin also named some factors that affect the process of natural selection. Among these were overproduction, competition, and variations. Overproduction happens when species reproduce many more offspring than can possibly survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the theory of natural selection, organisms produce more offspring than are able to survive in their environment. Those that are better physically equipped to survive, grow to maturity, and reproduce.
