Answer:
Yes, had Darwin been aware of Mendel's
work, he would have been able to explain the origin of variations. Darwins
observation of different forms of an individual in a population could be
related to the presence of different forms of alleles of a gene, The gene
express as the most adaptive traits are selected naturally and become more
abundant than those that are expressed as less adaptive traits.
Over the time, the accumulation of these
traits might change the species to an extent that it develops into a new one
and adapted to the specific environment.
