In a population of short, ground-dwelling animals, some offspring were produced that were approximately 1 cm taller than others in the population. This group was able to reach slightly higher vegetation than the rest of the population. When these animals grew up, they were able to produce more offspring than other animals in the population. This pattern, where the tallest animals were more likely to survive and reproduce, continued over several generations. Eventually, after many generations, all members of the population were at least 20 cm taller than animals of the original population had been. What does this illustrate?

    Explanation:

    Darwin in his theory explained this in detail where He said animals who are better equipped to conditions will survive or as he described the that generation will preserve itself for future. To quote from his book he said "Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations"
