According to evolution, every organism on the planet produces more offspring than can possibly survive. See Charles Darwin's The Orgin of Species.
There is variation among species in the amount that survive. If you're looking for an organism with a high Death Rate look at plants who produce thousands or millions of seeds. Not every one of these matures into an adult. Many are picked out by birds and other animals.

∙ 15y agoA crocodile or alligator, like many other wild animals, produce more than one offspring at a time but only few survive. Other animals are wolves, turtles, tigers, and most of the wild animals. I'm not an expert but I hope this answers your question!

What is the process in which individuals with useful traits are more likely to survive and produce more offspring with those useful traits?
natural selection
What are 3 ways that a species may form?
They can be formed by evolution: A species can't survive in it's environment so it evolves into a more adapted species Two different species can mate: A new species can appear from the offspring of two different species.
How do adaptations affect a species?
they make the species more likely to survive.(apex)
How does natural selection help make a species stronger?
it makes them better adapted to the environment so they will live longer and produce more offspring.
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
The process through which species produce many more offspring than can possibly survive?
Overproduction
Do humans produce more offspring than needed for a species to survive?
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.
What is the measure ability to survive and produce more offspring relative to other members of the population called?
Fitness is a term that is used to measure the ability to survive and produce the most offspring.
Charles Darwin proposed that organisms produce many more offsprings that can possibly survive?
more offspring are produced than will survive
How are organisms with certain traits more likely to survive and produce offspring?
Natural selection
What is the process in which individuals with useful traits are more likely to survive and produce more offspring with those useful traits?
natural selection
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.
What is Darwin's theory of overpopulation?
The phenomenon of over-population, according to Darwin's theory, starts the whole process of evolutionary transformation of organisms. Overproduction is the main laws of natural selection ,it is the ability of a species to produce far more offspring than can survive. The number of organisms of each species are born into the world, more than the number of them, which can find their own food to survive and leave offspring, yet the number of each species in natural conditions is fairly constant. Therefore, it must be assumed that most of the offspring in each generation dies. If all the descendants of a species to survive and reproduce, then pretty soon they would be supplanted all other forms in the world.
What are the 4 key principles of natural selection?
1. Overproduction - more offspring are born than survive 2. Genetic Variation - there is variation in the population 3. Struggle to Survive - organisms with suitable variations will survive and reproduce 4. Differential Reproduction - suitable variations are passed on to offspring
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
What are four statements that summarize Darwin's theory of evolution?
1. All organisms produce more offspring then they can survive. 2. There is incredible variation between each species. 3. Some variation increase chances of organisms surviving to produce. 4. Overtime variations are passed.
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.
