Darwinism explains all the following except

  • A
    within each species, there are variations
  • B
    organisms tend to produce more number of offspring that can survive
  • C
    offspring with better traits that overcome competition are best suited for the environment
  • Correct answer
    D
    variations are inherited from parents to offspring through genes

Solution

Variation is one of the main postulates of Darwinism. Darwin recognised two types of variations-continous and dis-continous variation, but he could not explain the inheritance of variations.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
