The best reason for this, in my opinion, might be because there are many, many predators in the ocean so overproduction maybe so that there will still be seahorses who survive. ( I don't know if this is totally accurate to your question but for me, that would be the first idea that comes to mind.) I hope this will help.

Explanation:

Natural selection takes place in particular kinds of populations of species due to various elements. It starts with overproduction. In biology, overproduction means that each generation exhibits more offspring than can be encouraged by the environment.  

In the case of seahorse, overproduction takes place due to the limited availability of resources and the threat of predators. The phenomenon of overproduction facilitates to better the genetic line by encouraging the survival of the fittest. As the resources are confined, so those offspring that are best able to adapt to the challenges of the environment possesses the tendency to survive.

Moose make mating calls to locate potential mates
Bingel [31]
<span>Moose are generally docile towards humans, but may become more aggressive during the mating season of September through October.The name "moose" comes from the Native American word "Moswa," which translates to "twig eater."On average, moose live 10 to 15 years in the wild. Moose are considered fully mature at 4 to 5 years of age.Moose are remarkably agile for their size, capable of running at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour.Moose are capable of swimming up to 10 miles without stopping.Moose are unlike many other deer species in that they are mostly solitary animals. However, strong bonds exist between mothers and calves.The moose population in North America is estimated to be fewer than 1.5 million, with 1 million in Canada alone. Up to 200,000 are estimated to live in Alaska.Moose are herbivores, and eat a large amount of terrestrial vegetation, but they also must need to consume a good amount of aquatic plants which provide moose with sodium.Moose must consume 9770 calories per day to maintain their body weight.A moose will eat up to 70.5 pounds of food a day.If a bull moose is castrated, he will shed his current set of antlers and grow new, deformed and misshapen antlers which will never be shed again. These antlers are often called "devil's antlers" and are the source of several Native American myths. In rare cases, cow moose may grow antlers due to a hormone imbalance.Because of their heavy bodies suspended by spindly legs, moose are especially dangerous when hit by passenger cars. If you are driving in an area where moose are plentiful, use caution and pay attention at all times.<span>Moose antlers may weigh up to 70 pounds, and measure 6 feet across.</span></span>

Cadherin clusters of adherens junctions _____________. 1) connect the external environment to the actin cytoskeleton 2) do NOT r
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Option-1 and 3

Explanation:

Cadherin is the protein complex present in the cell which is responsible for the sticking together of cell in tissue-like in the skin. The cadherin junctions allow the communication between the cells and the loss of the cadherin could cause cancer.

The cadherin junction is involved in the signalling pathway in the cells like in the Rho GTPase signalling, Ras signalling and many others which shows that they are responsible for the biological processes in an organism.

Thus, Option-1 and 3 are correct.

If an organism has high biological fitness in one environment, does that mean that it would also have high biological fitness in
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The answer is no, high biological fitness in one environment doesn't have to be high in another environment. Biological fitness is a term used in evolutionary biology and it is the quantitative representation of how a genotype (or phenotype) is successful (reproductively) in a certain environment. The biological fitness of an organism is dependent on its ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment. If different traits or alleles increase the fitness of an organism, those alleles will consequently increase in the gene pool, and that trait will increase in the population.
