Hey!!!! You're in Prof. Ottes course, aren't you lol. It's alright, so am I! And, studying at the last minute as usual. Good luck on the midterm...do you know anything about the chimpanzee question?
Fact 1:Potential exponential population increase
Fact 2: But populations in steady-state
Fact 3: Resources limited
Fact 4: Uniqueness of individuals within population
Fact 5: Most parental variation inherited in offspring
Inference 1: Since more individuals are produced than can be supported by the available resources but population size remains stable, it means that there must be a fierce struggle for existence among individuals of a population, resulting in the survival of a part, often a very small part, of the progeny of each generation.
Inference 2: Survival in the struggle for existence is not random but depends in part on the hereditary constitution of the surviving individuals. This unequal survival constitutes a process of natural selection.
Inference 3: Over the generations this process of natural selection will lead to a continuing gradual change of populations, that is, to evolution and to the production of new species.
