Answer: Natural selection is one of the concepts of evolution,it was propounded by a scientist known as Charles Darwin. In natural selection, organisms that have a more suitable traits survive and have a higher adaptation to the environment giving them more room to reproduce and give rise to new offsprings of their kind.

From the question, A male walrus that mates with 45 females has a higher favour than the walrus that mates with 18 females.

This is because,the walrus that mates with 45 females will have a larger number of offsprings than the other walrus making it to pass it's alleles(traits) to the next generation of walrus.

With this,the impact his alleles will have will be greater than the one of the walrus that mates with only 18 females.

The answer is ‘behavioral isolation’. It is a form of sympatric speciation - which occurs even when species live in the same habitat. In this case, the individuals in the population are isolated by differences in mating and probably different mating rituals.

What is an invasive species?
Serga [27]

Answer:

An invasive species is an organism that causes ecological or economic harm in a new environment where it is not native.

Explanation:

Invasive species can harm both the natural resources in an ecosystem as well as threaten human use of these resources. An invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and other means.

Invasive species are capable of causing extinctions of native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can result in huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems.
