What happens when species overproduce offspring?
When a species overproduces it makes it less likely for members of the same species to survive.
How is it that each species reproduces its own kinds?
It is genetically encoded and that is passed on to the offspring.
What is a reproductive strategy?
The way a species produces offspring
What is the stage called when a person reproduces?
The stage when a person reproduces is called "reproductive stage," which involves the process of producing offspring. This stage is essential for the continuation of a species.
What plant produces offspring with the same traits as the parents?
A species.
What is overproduction?
Overproduction is a driving force in natural selection, as it can lead to adaptation and variations in a species. Darwin argued that all species overproduce, since they have more offspring than can realistically reach reproductive age, based on the resources available. -Google More offspring are produced than can survive. -gradpoint/novanet
Can a species that reproduces at a slow rate still overproduce?
Yes, but the conditions need to be right. Such plentiful food which would allow for a species to expand without cause a food shortage. Also any predators that hunt the species would have to have a low reproduction rate, so that the species will have a larger mating pool.
What happens when a species over produces offspring?
they become over populated and the population declines
How many offspring does asexual reproduction produce?
There are many different species that reproduce asexually, and the rate of reproduction depends upon the species. When an amoeba undergoes binary fission, it produces just one offspring at a time.
What are characteristics of the offspring of an wovles?
If this wolf produces offspring, which characteristics will be passed to its offspring?
What Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexually How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. This can be harmful to the species because they have less genetic diversity in their population.
What advantage does a species that reproduces sexually have over over a species that reproduces asexually?
Sexual reproduction produces offspring with differences in DNA which can lead to mutations, often vital for a species survival....as compared to asexual producing clones of the parent. So lets say a disease hit a population of whatever it is, the clones would all be the same (obviously lol) and all die, compared to the population of sexually produced organisms which have differences in DNA and may have a imunity toward that disease and a few may survive and carry on that species. Advantages - Evolution (long term), Survival (short-term)
