How did Darwin observe that all species populations have the reproduction potential to increase exponentially over time?

Darwin observed that all species populations have the reproduction potential to increase exponentially over time through his studies on natural selection and adaptation. He noticed that individuals within a population have the capacity to produce more offspring than the environment can support, leading to competition for resources and resulting in exponential population growth over generations. This observation formed the basis of his theory of natural selection as a mechanism for evolution.

Fact

What is the average attention span of an ostrich?

The Italian word for goat is capra; a desire to change direction and a short attention span were traits always attributed to the goat, and as such the word capriccio, which means whimsy, developed. It is from this word that the English language borrowed capricious, meaning apt to change direction on a whim. Neither the animal nor the word has anything to do with Capri pants.

What is the difference between telophase 1 and telophase 2?

At the beginning of telophase I, each half of the cell has a complete haploid set of chromosomes, but each chromosome is still composed of two sister chromatids. Cytokinesis usually occurs simultaneously with telophase I, forming two haploid daughter cells. No chromosome replication occurs between the end of meiosis I and the beginning of meiosis II, as the chromosomes are already replicated.

In telophase II, the nuclei form and the chromosomes begin decondensing. The meiotic division of one parent cell produces four daughter cells, each with a haploid set of (unreplicated) chromosomes

What do plants have that animals do not have?

uhh they have stems,leaves,they dont have a brain.

Plants all contain chloroplasts in their cells, these allow the plant to photosynthesize its own food. One of the criteria of a plant is that it is autotrophic. All plant cells are surrounded by cell walls, this makes plant cells much more rigid than animals cells and gives plants their structure. It also allows plant cells to hold more water without bursting. I would say that those are the two most important things that differ between plants and any other kingdom.

How do lions attract other lions?

Answer 1. Cats show dominance over other cats in multiple ways. For one, they fluff up their hair and arch their back's preparing to fight. They also mark their territory (urinating on plants or house hold items) If they do this inside it is usually when something new and strange enters the household (i.e. another pet) Cats will fight other cats and chase them away, they are very physical.

Answer 2. What the person above is saying isn't how they 'show' dominance , that is how they attempt to gain dominance. To show that they are dominant , they threat other cats , the 'fight-starter' is usually the less-dominant one , because if they win a fight and make the dominant one back down , that makes them more dominant , I have two male cats , so I've experienced them switch dominance over time , there isn't a perminant dominant one in my house because they're typical brothers , Bubble has the ego , he always thinks he's boss , he threats Squeak , but when it comes to fighting , they go insane , both are covered in blood , but usually Squeak wins his fame for a few days , then it goes back to Bossy Bubble haha , when I said 'covered in blood' that was an exaggeration , but before we had them fixed they would litterally fight til one ended up at the vets , that's what pushed us into taking their man-pride away even though we couldn't afford the surgery.

Answer 3. Cats also will wander into their enemy cats house to urinate in it and steal their food framing them for it so that the bad cat will be abandoned and die of starvation.

Is the Pink Salmon an r or K strategist and does it experience logistic or exponential growth be sure to explain please?

Pink salmon are considered to be r-strategists due to their relatively short lifespan and high reproductive output. They typically exhibit exponential growth due to their ability to produce a large number of offspring in a short period. This allows them to colonize new habitats quickly and take advantage of favorable environmental conditions.
