Question 17 • 5120VA Environmental Science Sem A

Which of the following is not a part of Darwin’s theory of evolution?

Answer
A
Changes in organisms occur immediately.
B
Organisms change over time.
C
Species evolution occurs through natural selection.
D
Organisms developed from common ancestors.

Explanation

Darwin’s theory describes populations changing over many generations, not organisms changing immediately. Natural selection favors inherited traits that help organisms survive and reproduce, and Darwin proposed that different species share common ancestors. Therefore, “Changes in organisms occur immediately” is not part of Darwin’s theory.
