This is a typical example of R selection life strategy. These species, including the Atlantic cod, produce a large number of offspring with a low chance of surviving to adulthood. This strategy is particularly successful in environments that are unstable. The main advantage of this strategy in changing environments is that the ''cost'' of making offspring is very low, so you the species can produce large numbers offspring, ensuring that at least some of them will survive into adulthood and continue the species.
Natural selection, in this case, favors the individuals that are able to adapt the fastest to the changing conditions.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is peas have characteristics that have two forms.

Gregor Mendel used pea plant  <em>Pisum sativum </em>as a model plant for his experiments. There are many applications behind his choice, one of which is observable characteristics with contrasting traits.

Pea plant has many observable characteristics which exist in two forms for example:

  • Plant size (tall or dwarf)
  • Pea color (green or yellow)
  • Pod shape (yellow or green)
  • Flower color (purple or white)
  • Pea shape (round or wrinkled)

Other benefits were like: short life cycle, it produces a good number of offspring in a cross, easy to breed or cross-pollinate, hybrids were liable, bisexual flowers which makes it easy to produce true-breeding etc.

Without knowing the answers, I am thinking it would be either a change in habitat, like climate change or the grass and therefore the herbivores are dying so the lion can't eat. I'm not positive, but it seems most likely.b   <span />
