Answer: Resources are always limited.

Exponential growth can be defined as the increase in the number of members in a population, at a constantly growing rate.  In nature population may grow exponentially for some period but ultimately decline due to limitation in resource availability. Resources are available to population according to the carrying capacity of the region or ecosystem. Carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum number of individuals that an ecosystem can sustain on the basis of availability of resources like food, shelter and others.

The natural populations cannot keep growing exponentially because the increase in the  size of the population may exceed the carrying capacity of the region or ecosystem. This has resulted due to the limitation of resources.

In ostriches, there are 2 types: ones that run fast and those that run slowly. The fast birds can reach up to 40 miles an hour.
liraira [26]

Answer:

Natural selection will select the type of ostriches that can run up to 40 mph.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection, organisms with favorable traits following their environment are more likely to reproduce. In doing so, they pass on the better traits to their next generation for the survival of their species.

This process allows organisms to adapt to their environment. And the survival of species is assured.

Here, the type of ostriches that run slow probably fall prey to the jackals. To maintain survival, the ostriches reproduce and lay eggs. If out of almost a dozen eggs, one or two are left to hatch than the <em><u>chances of their survival</u></em> will greatly be affected if the hatching ostriches are of the <em>slow-running type</em>.

Therefore, natural selection may stay in favor of <em>fast-running ostriches</em> to hatch.

How does apoptosis affect cancer
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Damage to DNA can render a cell useless, or even harmful to an organism. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, evolved as a rapid and irreversible process to efficiently eliminate dysfunctional cells. A hallmark of cancer is the ability of malignant cells to evade apoptosis.
