Darwinism explains all the following except:
1. | Within each species, there is variation |
2. | Organisms tend to produce more offspring than can survive |
3. | Offspring with better traits that overcome competition are best suited for the environment |
4. | Variations are inherited from parents to offspring through genes |

Which of the following is not true for a species?
1. | Members of a species interbreed |
2. | Variations occur among members of species |
3. | Each species is reproductively isolated from every other species |
4. | Gene flow does not occur between the populations of a species |
The diversity in the type of beaks of finches adapted to different feeding habits on the Galapagos islands, as observed by Darwin, provides evidence for:
1. origin of species by natural selection
2. intraspecific variations
3. intraspecific competition
4. interspecific competition
