Explain over production and reproduction
Mandarinka [93]

Explanation:

<h2>Overproduction in Natural Selection </h2>

Natural selection occurs in specific populations of organisms because of several factors. It begins with overproduction. Overproduction by definition, in biology, means that each generation has more offspring than can be supported by the environment. Because of this, competition takes place for limited resources. Individuals have traits that are passed down to offspring. Some of these traits give individuals an advantage when it comes to surviving to reproduce. The organisms with these traits are more likely to live and have offspring who will inherit the helpful traits.
