Differential reproduction
What else can I help you with?
What is a term that describes why some individuals produce more offspring than others?
Organisms that are constantly exposed to dangers, which can kill them in mass, have evolved to reproduce in high numbers so that enough of a species will survive and continue the species. Survival of the fittest and natural selection is a common practice among organisms that reproduce fast and in high numbers.
What is the main way individual's leave a population?
Individuals can leave a population through either death or emigration. Death results in a permanent loss of individuals from the population, while emigration involves individuals moving out of the population to join another population or habitat.
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
Does natural selection operate only on an individual over many generations?
The answer below is partly right, but natural selection actually does not act on an individual. As stated below, individuals within a population of a given species are selected based on physical trains which benefit, but not for the survival of the animal itself. It is important to note that in Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, environmental change does not create new alleles but rather select from the gene pool of a population that has the allele which would benifit in a given condition. Thus, natural selection act on a population and its gene pool rather than the individuals. Yes. According to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, individuals within a population of a given species are "selected" based on physical traits which benefit the survival of the animal. However, they are only "selected" thanks to the individuals that die, because they are not physically suited for survival as well as the others. Natural selection acts directly only on those to die, because it is technically the only physical "act" or determining factor that demonstrates Darwin's theory. All the rest simply has to do with the animals left over, which simply breed as usual inevitably creating better and better animals, while natural selection picks off all those that are not quite good enough.
What is the movement of genes into and out of a gene pool called?
The movement of genes into and out of a gene pool is called gene flow. Gene flow occurs when individuals migrate between populations and introduce new genetic variation or when individuals leave a population, reducing the amount of genetic diversity.
What describes when describes individuals leave more offspring than other individuals?

Why are fit individuals more to leave more offspring?
Fit individuals are more likely to leave more offspring because they possess advantageous traits that enhance their ability to survive and reproduce. These traits can include physical strength, disease resistance, and access to resources, which all contribute to increased reproductive success. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population through natural selection.
What is the main way individual's leave a population?
Individuals can leave a population through either death or emigration. Death results in a permanent loss of individuals from the population, while emigration involves individuals moving out of the population to join another population or habitat.
What does by your leave mean?
A by-your-leave is a request for individual permission to carry out an activity, usually granted by an individual for an individual.
List four elements of natural selection?
· All populations have genetic variation.· The environment presents challenges to successful reproduction.· Individuals tend to produce more offspring than the environment can support.· Individuals that are better able to cope with the challenges presented by their environment tend to leave more offspring than those individuals less suited to the environment do.
Individuals that are better able to cope with the challenges of their environment tend to?
Leave more offspring then those less suited for the environment.
What are Darwin's four postulates?
1. There is variation in individuals within a species 2. Variation ensures that individuals that are better suited to their environment will survive. 3. Traits that assist individuals in survival and allow them to reprduce gradually spread throughout population. 4. Individuals produce more offspring than the local resources can support.
