Why do genetically different offspring have a better chance of survival than genetically?

Those that are different have a better chance because one may be superior than the others. If they are all alike, perhaps none will survive.

Offspring that are the result of sexual reproduction are?
Better adapted to the environment due new genetic combinations by crossing over.
What did Darwin mean by fitness?
Fit to purpose, or environment. I might be extremely fit in the modern sense, but I an not fit for survival in the desert. In a different sense I am not as fit as someone who lives a nomadic life, but I am better fitted than they for survival in a modern city.
Adaptations give organisms a better chance for?
butter fly?
Why is sexual reproduction better than asexual reproduction for ensuring survival of a species in a changing environment?
Yes. Sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction in a challenging environment since sexual reproduction introduces more variation in the offspring. In asexual reproduction, the variation in offspring is caused by mutations and they are rare and a large number of offspring will have to be produced to ensure enough offspring with beneficial mutations are born, and this is not always possible when resources are scarce. In sexual reproduction, variation is introduced by recombination in addition to mutation, and recombination (random crossover of chromosomes) happens in every time the organism reproduces to introduce variation that may not be present in the parents. The greater amount of variation increases the chance of having offspring that are adapted to the challenging environment.
Why is genetically modified crops a bad thing?
Because its not real food. its unnatural. Naturaal food is much better for u.
Why are stronger traits passed down to offspring?
So that the offspring have a better chance of survival. these traits are often chosen through natural selection.
Offspring that are the result of sexual reproduction are?
Better adapted to the environment due new genetic combinations by crossing over.
Who is a better offspring?
If mother and father are geographically situated in two different regions and if they do not have any blood relationship, then there is a good chance of getting a better offspring.
What is parent offspring?
Parent-offspring refers to the relationship between an individual organism and its direct offspring, such as a mother and her child in human terms. This relationship often involves caring for and providing resources to ensure the survival and well-being of the offspring. Parental care is common in many species and plays a crucial role in the reproductive success and survival of offspring.
Is Sexual or asexual reproduction better for a rapidly changing environment?
Sexual. Sex allows for more variation in offspring thus increasing the chances for survival.
Is corn improvements genetically or naturally?
what i believe is that corn is genetically improved or altered some believe it is not better. But corn is altered genetically
What is the advantage of using mice in experiments that are not genetically similar to mice that are?
Using genetically similar mice will help have a constant result in the experiment. Using non-genetically similar mice will give you different results leading to a false answer. And if you looked up the same question as I then there is a part about cloning mice and why that would be better. It would be better because then you KNOW that you will get the same answer all around.
How do snails change their sex?
Sexual reproduction allows the organisms to combine DNA and produce offspring that may have better survival traits than either one of the parents. Even if an organism has both male and female organs, it is better for future offspring to combine these traits and try to produce a superior organism instead of just copying the DNA that is already there.
What is the difference between helpful and harmful mutation?
a beneficial mutation in an animal, plant, cell or bacteria will allow it to have a better chance of survival and allow it to continue passing on its DNA in its offspring. a harmful mutation does the exact opposite it hinders the animals survival and will eventually lead it's species to extinction.
Darwin noticed that birds were good At finding scarce food in the winter had a better chance of surviving and producing offspring what did he call this struggle fir existence?
Survival of the fittest / natural selection
Are adults or children given a better chance for survival from lymphoma?
The survival rate among children is definitely better than among older people.
What is it to domesticate?
to change a living thing genetically to better serve human needs
