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.
The maximum number of organisms an environment can support over a long period of time is?
Carrying Capacity
What are some animals that produce a low number of offspring?
Many would believe that the size of the animal may determine how many genes it has. However, this is not always true. The animal with the most genes is actually microscopic. The mitochondria has less then 20 genes and has the least genes of any animal.
Why Frog produce a large number of gametes?
Frog spawn has a high mortality rate because of predators and other factors. Therefore the more offspring the frogs have, the greater the chance the offspring have of reaching maturity and continuing the species.
Why did Gregor Mendel chose pea plants for experiment?
They could be used to produce many offspring quickly.
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 organisms produce high number of offspring?
Those which do not nurture their offspring and those which spawn in an aquatic environment
What is an indicator that two similar organisms are different species?
If their karotypes (number of chromosomes) don't match or if they are bred and fail to produce offspring or the offspring are infertile.
What is the maximum numbers of organisms?
There is an infinite number of organisms
Mammals produce high or low numbers of offspring?
Mammals produve low number of offspring.
What is the process can produce a large number of offspring?
invitro fertilization
What is the maximum number of organisms that can be sustained over time with the available resources?
The maximum number of organisms that can be sustained over time withi available resources is three thousand.
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
In most populations the individuals that produce the greatest number of offspring are?
These are always the strongest.
Does sexual reproduction usually produce a large or a small number of offspring?
large
Organism usually produce only as many organisms as will survive?
Absolutely not... typically they will produce a multiple more than what will survive in order to maximize survivability... genetically speaking this increases the 'fitness' of the organism. Turtles and other reptiles will produce dozens of offspring only to have a small percentage survive, but reptiles take very little care of their young (the majority of the fates of the offspring are left up to chance and the strengths of individual offspring). Mammals will produce less (typically 1/2 of the number of nipples for feeding is the average birth number at one time). Mammals produce less because they take more care of their offspring and leave less to chance.Spider unfortunately (in this authors humble opinion), have WAY too many offspring! :)Have a great day,Synapse your fingers to the beat,Synaptophyllic
In most popluations the indivuals who produce the greatest number of offspring are?
usually the best adapted
