Which of the following observations about populations shaped Darwin’s principles of natural selection? Select all that apply.     As a population expands, resources that are used by its individuals eventually become limited.   Individuals within a population naturally vary in the details of shared traits.   Individuals of a population that are better able to survive tend to leave more offspring.   Natural populations have an inherent capacity to increase in size over time.   When resources are limited, the individuals of a population compete for those resources.
