Provide Darwin's 5 pieces of reasoning for natural selection
Some differences between organisms are heritable (can be passed down)
There is competition for limited resources
A small number of offspring survive to reproduce
An organism more suited (apropriado/उपयुक्त) to its environment is more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on its genetic information (natural selection)
Today’s organisms descended with modification from a common ancestor

Two species of insects are only attracted to the pheromones (scent chemicals) released by their own species. This is an example of:
Behavioral isolation
