Answer Details
The statement(s) related to Darwin's theory of evolution are II and IV only. Darwin's theory of evolution states that organisms produce many offspring and members of a species vary. This variation leads to differences in phenotype, which can be selected for by the environment. The changes in the phenotype are not brought about by the individual itself, but rather by natural selection acting on the variation present in the population. Therefore, statement III, which refers to the inheritance of acquired characters, is not related to Darwin's theory of evolution.
