How do pathogens challenge an organism’s stability?

1 answer:

3 0

Pathogens are any form of a disease causing bacteria, virus or any other microorganism. When they infect an organism, that organism now has to allocate precious resources in the form of energy in order to fend off the infectious microorganisms. In some other cases, an infection could be fatal to an organism completely and "stability" wouldn't really be the biggest worry for that organism.

In conclusion, if you're talking about a larger, more evolved organism with a working immune system. Pathogens require a lot of energy to fight, and for some small organism without a developed immune system, pathogens could throw them off completely.

How do you think a species population can benefit from being diverse?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A species' population that is genetically diverse is more likely to adapt and recover from environmental changes. A genetically diverse population is more likely to possess variations of alleles that are suited for the environment and its changes. Those individuals are more likely to survive to produce offspring bearing that allele.
