During his voyage around the world, Darwin was inspired to think about evolution by ____________________.Group of answer choicesstudying adaptations of organisms to their environmentsthe unique organisms he saw in the Gálapagos Islandsfossils he collectedthe works of others such as Lamarck

. How did Darwin explain the process of natural selection?a. Traits acquired during an organism's lifetime are passed on to offspringb. Individuals with unfavorable traits are more likely to survivec. Offspring inherit helpful traits that lead to better adaptationd. Overproduction of offspring ensures survival of the species
