Abstract: Abstract This chapter is an introduction to cell structure and biological reproduction and the effects that they have upon the survival of species according to the Darwinian model of evolution. The Darwinian model of evolution postulates that all living systems must compete for resources that are too limited to sustain all the organisms that are born. Those organisms possessing properties that are best suited to the environment can survive and may pass the favored properties to their offspring.
