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.
How are organisms with certain traits more likely to survive and produce offspring?
Natural selection
Charles Darwin proposed that organisms produce many more offsprings that can possibly survive?
more offspring are produced than will survive
Why do fish produce high numbers of offspring?
some eggs are eaten or babies dont survive
What do wild tigers need to survive?
Food, water, space, and other tigers to reproduce with to produce offspring.
Why do toads produce large number of eggs?
To ensure that at least a few offspring will survive to become adults
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 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 of offspring?
When an organism produces too many offspring to increase the chance of survival for the species. Put it this way: Mother turtles produce many offspring (baby turtles) because most will get eaten or will not survive.
What is a trait that improves an individuals ability to survive and produce is?
Adaptability is a trait that can improve an individual's ability to survive and produce offspring. This trait allows individuals to adjust to changing environments and circumstances, increasing their chances of successfully reproducing.
Do most species produce far more offspring than will survive?
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.
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
