Do humans produce more offspring than needed for a species to survive?
CherryColagp3970
There are more than 0 humans, so yes we produce more offspring than needed to survive, however humans aren't often hunted or killed by other species so it would be difficult not do. Usually animals have many more offspring than humans do, but they are also part of the natural food chain, so that is needed to survive.

Why can't humans produce offspring with a different species?
As you said- different species. Diferent species have different geneticmaterials, and it does not match up. Like trying to put a DVD in a VCR.
2 organisms that produce a low number of offspring?
Elephants and humans produce low numbers of offspring. Organisms that produce low numbers of offspring produce offspring that are most dependent on the mothers.
What is a group of similar organisms in a genus that can reproduce more of their own kind?
This might be thought of as a species if the group indicated was large enough to include all of the potential members that can breed and produce viable fertile offspring. This would mean that animals which can breed and produce infertile offspring such as horses and donkeys which can mate and produce offspring are not of the same species. This situation would be within the bounds of the question. When a group which is of one species but is of limited such a limited population that the only can breed with a small number of individuals and produce a fertile offspring it would be described as a bottlenecked population. This can lead to severe genetic drift in that population.
How could Neanderthals and Humans interbreed to produce fertile and viable offspring Assuming they were different species?
Neanderthals and humans are genetically similar. Less than one percent difference in their DNA.
Why do animals produce identical offspring and humans dont?
Animals don't always produce identical offspring. Like cats for an example.
How do species make a living?
The only species that has to rely on currency to survive - is humans !
What happens if there was no introduced animals?
Animals or even humans couldnt produce offspring.
Why do mammals produce high and low numbers of offspring?
Mammals produce a low number of offspring. Take humans, cats or dogs for example xHope i helped ;P
Why cant patterns of inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas or flies?
Humans produce few offspring slowly
What is the definition of a gestation period?
It is the length of time to produce offspring. In humans, it is about 9 months.
Selection in which humans allow only the best organisms to produce offspring?
Artificial Selection
