How do adaptations help Ann organism to reduce competition for food and other resourses

An organism adapting to its environment leads it to be more ‘equipped’ for survival.
Competition is when other species fight for the same resources that another species needs. Also, it would produce offspring with these adaptations.

An example (to help you better understand);

A blue jay has great eyesight, strong wings, and sharp beak. (Better adapted organism) Another blue jay has great eyesight, weak wings, and dull beak. (The competitor/unadapted)

Both birds find the same food source and are now competing for it. The first bird has sharp beams, which is better for breaking, and ‘chomping’ the seeds/food. The second bird would struggle to consume its food (seed) unless it’s worms.

So which one is better adapted? The first blue jay.

And i hope this helped show how competition can be reduced.

Answer:

So that in a guinea pig cross in the offspring the recessive trait —long hair— can be observed in 25%, the most probable genotype of the parents is heterozygous Ss.

Explanation:

In guinea pigs, for the characteristic hair length, short hair is the dominant allele and long hair is the recessive one.

In order for 25% of the offspring to express the recessive characteristic, the parents must have a recessive genotype, which can be seen in Punnett's Square:

P: Ss X Ss

Alleles S s

S SS Ss

s Ss ss

Where the offspring is:
