Question

which of the following is not one of the four main principles of natural selection?
overproduction
inheritance of acquired traits
genetic variation
differential survival and reproduction

Explanation:

According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, the four main principles are overproduction (more offspring are produced than can survive), genetic variation (individuals in a population have different traits), and differential survival and reproduction (individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce). Lamarck's theory proposed the inheritance of acquired traits (traits an organism develops during its lifetime can be passed on), which is not part of Darwin's natural - selection principles.

Answer:

Inheritance of acquired traits
