Explanation:

The Darwin's theory of evolution is primarily depended on the concept that not all the offspring produced in an interbreeding survive and this is due to the limited resources. Due to the limited resources there exists a competition between the species and whosoever overpowers the other species and gets enabled to acquire sufficient resources survives while the rest become extinct.
