over time what is the result of natural selection animals that can't survive or reproduce die
Identify four types of evidence that Darwin used to support his concept of evolution Geographical distribution homologous body structure fossil record vestigial organs
how does an animal's level of fitness relate to its chances of survival and reproduction it increases there chances to reproduce and survive
