Darwin's Observation #1 - ANSWERMembers of a population often vary in their inherited traits. For example, Asian ladybird beetles vary in color and spot pattern. Darwin's Observation #2 - ANSWERAll species can produce more offspring than the environment can support, and many of these offspring fail to survive and reproduce. For example, the puffball fungus can produce many spores that give rise to many offspring. If all of the spores and their offspring survived, they would cover the surrou...
