Answer:

Five hundred out of every one thousand rats would die

Explanation:

Median lethal dose LD-50 (lethal dose 50%) is used as a measure of poisoning potential of a substance. LD-50 is the dose of substance, given all at once, which causes the death of 50% (one half) of a group of test animals.  LD-50 is usually expressed as the amount of chemical administered (e.g., milligrams) per 100 grams or per kilogram of the body weight of the test animal. In this example, the test animals were rats, they were administrated a certain insecticide. Administration methods that are the most common are dermal (applied to the skin) and oral (given by mouth). If the determined LD-50 is 250 milligrams per kilogram of body mass, it means that one half (five hundred) of one thousand rats would die, because we are talking about lethal doses.

What is the process where organisms that are better suited to their environment reproduce and pass on their genes more successfu
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Natural selection

Explanation:

Natural populations have variations. Organisms of a population have various genetic traits. Some of these genetic variations make the organisms better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. These organisms are more likely to produce more progeny. Over generations, the frequency of the beneficial genetic traits increases in the population due to the higher reproductive success of the organisms with these genetic traits.

This process of differential fitness of organisms of a population where the organisms with adaptive genetic traits have survival and reproductive benefits is called natural selection.
