Lamarck and Darwin developed ideas about evoultion. Lamarck's ideas were disgarded and Darwin's were accepted. Why?

• Darwin was after Lamarck

• Darwin was more educated

• Darwin based his theory on observation in the Galapagos Islands

• Darwin's theory is based on thousands of observations and experiments.

If there are tree nesting birds and ground nesting birds and an animal who eats birds is looking for food, how is natural selectin affecting the bird population?

• The ground nesting birds will survive better

• The trees nesting birds will survive better

• Ground nesting birds will produce extra offspring
