It wasn't exactly that. Darwin believed that species evolved through natural selection. Meaning the individual that's best suited for the environment survives. So for example giraffes. As the food started getting harder and harder to reach only giraffes with longer necks would survive. Hence giraffes have freakishly long necks now

What is Darwin's theory of overpopulation?
The phenomenon of over-population, according to Darwin's theory, starts the whole process of evolutionary transformation of organisms. Overproduction is the main laws of natural selection ,it is the ability of a species to produce far more offspring than can survive. The number of organisms of each species are born into the world, more than the number of them, which can find their own food to survive and leave offspring, yet the number of each species in natural conditions is fairly constant. Therefore, it must be assumed that most of the offspring in each generation dies. If all the descendants of a species to survive and reproduce, then pretty soon they would be supplanted all other forms in the world.
How is it possible that a species that has only one young at a time is equally successful?
(Study Island)The success of a species depends on the number of offspring that survive long enough to reproduce.(Explanation)The success of a species depends on the number of offspring that survive long enough to reproduce, not just the number of offspring produced at a time or even in a lifetime. A penguin who has only one young can devote a lot of time, attention, and care to it, greatly increasing its chances of surviving long enough for it, too, to reproduce. An octopus, on the other hand, usually dies shortly after reproducing. A young octopus has no parent to protect or teach it, so the vast majority of octopi do not survive long enough to reproduce.
What is the average number of offspring of a fish?
The average number of offspring of a fish can vary greatly depending on the species. However, in general, fish tend to produce a large number of offspring, with some species producing thousands or even millions of eggs at a time.
What is a jaguar's number of offspring?
A jaguar typically gives birth to 1-4 cubs in a litter. The number of offspring can vary, but it is generally around 2 cubs per litter.
Why do animals with fewer offspring look after there offspring for longer?
Your question is unique, and I like it. This is not completely true, for a mother alligator can have more than a dozen babies and unlike other reptiles, will watch over and protect them until they are ready to be on their own. Bears are good example of being protective mothers. The average number of cubs a mother bear( A.K.A. sow) will give birth to is two. The best answer I can give you is that animal mothers who have fewer offspring need to be more careful because they need their children to grow and to continue to reproduce(the life cycle). When more babies are born in one litter, there is more hope for that species to gain more production.
How did Darwin explain the fact that only a small number of offspring of any species survive to reproduce?
Darwin explained this through his theory of natural selection, which proposes that only the individuals best adapted to their environment survive and pass on their traits to their offspring. This process leads to the gradual evolution of species over time, as those with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Why do toads produce large number of eggs?
To ensure that at least a few offspring will survive to become adults
How many offspring do opossums have?
They can have as many as 20, but only about half survive.
What is Darwin's measure of success in origin of species?
Success in the context of natural selection means reproductive success, or fitness. It refers to the average number of fertile offspring raised by any variant, lineage or population as a whole.
What best describes the process of plants and animals producing more offspring than are able to survive?
This process is known as overproduction or the production of more offspring than can survive. It is a common strategy employed by species to increase their chances of passing on their genes to the next generation despite the high mortality rate among the offspring. By producing a larger number of offspring, the species increases the likelihood that some will survive and reproduce.
What is Darwin Barney's number on the Chicago Cubs?
Darwin Barney is number 15 on the Chicago Cubs.
What is the relationship between overproduction of offspring and natural selection?
Overproduction of offspring means overproduction of variants that can not all live on the resources in their immediate environment. Thus those organisms who can survive to be reproductively successful in a limited resource environment are naturally selected for and pass these traits on to their offspring.
Why do only a few offspring actually survive even though the male and female release so man y eggs and sperm?
Many factors contribute to low offspring survival rates, such as predation, competition, and environmental conditions. The high number of eggs and sperm produced by males and females is an adaptation to increase the chances of fertilization, compensating for the high mortality rates of offspring. This ensures that at least some offspring will survive to adulthood and reproduce, ultimately passing on their genes to the next generation.

How do you find recombination frequencies on a chromosome?
Recombination frequency = (Recombinant offspring) / (Total offspring) i.e. the recombination frequency is calculated by taking the number of recombinant offspring and dividing it by the total number of offspring.
What does the number 32 stand for in Biblical numeric's?
