Organisms that can interbreed and produce offspring that can grow to produce young are classified as members of the same species. This means they share enough genetic similarities to successfully reproduce and create viable offspring.
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
No, not all mammals breastfeed their young. Some mammals, like monotremes (such as platypuses and echidnas), lay eggs and do not produce milk to feed their offspring.
Offspring refers to the young or progeny of an organism.
There is no evidence to suggest that animals reject their young after human contact. In fact, many animals are capable of forming strong bonds with their offspring regardless of human interaction.
Young plants and animals resemble their parents due to genetic inheritance. Each parent passes on their genes to their offspring, which determine the physical characteristics and traits of the offspring. This process ensures that offspring share similarities with their parents.
The offspring must be able to reproduce and produce fertile offspring of their own. This means that they are able to interbreed and pass on their genes to the next generation.
All living organisms produce offspring in one way or another. Animals produce either eggs or live young, plants produce seeds, single celled organisms divide. If you clarify this question, It may make it a lot easier to answer.
Koalas, on average, produce a single offspring each breeding season.
Big Ben was gelded as a young horse so he could not produce any offspring.

Lamarck proposed that organisms developed new features as a result of a 'inner urge' for improvement and that they passed on these improvements to their young/offspring. He did not accept that animals could become extinct.
offspring is a scientific word for baby The definition for the word offspring is "a person's child or children."In biology, offspring are the young born of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms. Collective offspring may be known as a brood or progeny in a more general way.
No, not all mammals breastfeed their young. Some mammals, like monotremes (such as platypuses and echidnas), lay eggs and do not produce milk to feed their offspring.
Yes, squirrels nurse their young. Female squirrels produce milk to feed and care for their offspring until they are old enough to eat solid food.
A young bovine that has not had an offspring is called a heifer.
Offspring refers to the young or progeny of an organism.
Opossums have 13 teats so can have no more than 13 offspring. Any others beyond 13 will die..
