Question

Which of the following concept is attributed to Charles Darwin?

• A. Use and disuse of organs is of great importance in evolution.
• B. Every cell must come from a pre-existing cell.
• C. In the struggle for existence, the fittest would survive.
• D. The gametes will carry only one of a pair of contrasting characters.

Answer 1

The correct option is C In the struggle for existence, the fittest would survive.

In the Origin of Species, Darwin guaranteed that there was a constant 'battle for presence' in nature, in which just the fittest would endure. This hypothesis came incompletely from his perusing of Thomas Malthus' Essay on the Principle of Population.

So, the correct option is 'In the struggle for existence, the fittest would survive'.
