Darwin developed his idea of evolution by natural selection based in part on
observations he made in the Galápagos Islands. Which of the following ideas
influenced Darwin's development of evolutionary theory?
A. the discovery that genes are made of a biochemical called DNA
B. the idea formulated by ancient Greek philosophers that all substances are made
of atoms
C. the development of the cell theory based on ideas from Mattias Schleiden,
Theodor Schwann, and Rudolph Virchow
D. the observation by British economist Thomas Malthus that the human popula-
tion could not continue growing faster than the food supply

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

i think the answer is b.
