Answer:

Option B, Some organisms have a higher reproductive success than others.

Explanation:

Over production is a scenario where an individual produce more than the normal offspring which enhances the survival rate of the newly born species.

Genetic variation causes genetic evolution which lead to development of individuals that are able enough to cope up with the existing environmental condition.

Both over production and genetic variation are leading to higher rate of survival of a newly borne individual and hence causes higher reproductive success.

Option B is correct

Overproduction is a natural phenomenon in which the number of produced offspring is higher than the number of individuals the ecosystem can sustain. Thus, competition for limited resources occurs.

Because of the genetic variation, the organisms within a population have different chances to reproduce. Most often, some organisms have a lower reproductive success than others do.

The number of individuals with a high reproductive success is rather low as few males are very successful at passing on their genetic material.

The number of organisms with no reproductive success is also very low, as these "ill adapted" individuals will disappear from the population extremely quickly.

Genetic variation is the amount of differences between individuals. Thus, no organism taken by itself has any genetic variation.

A recessive mutant allele of an autosome gene in a species of mouse results in a shorted tail in males when homozygous. However,

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

sexual chromosome linked characteristics

Explanation:

The sexual crhomosomes are XX (for females) and XY (for males).

The Y chromosome have less genes than the x, because of this, some characteristics are expressed at males and not at females.

Males has only one copy of the gen, carried by the only X chromosome (in this case, the leght of the tail). Nevertheless the females have two copies of the gen, (short and long tail).

So, the fenotype resulting is a dominant characterisitic related to x chomosome (long tail).

What is the difference between an endoskeleton and a exoskeleton? What types of animals have each?

dsp73

Answer:

an endoskeleton is a skeleton on the inside of a living creature. look at endo like enter, its on the inside! an exoskeleton is on the outside of a living creature. think of exo as exit, its on the outside! animals with endoskeletons are like dogs, cats, fish, and raccoons. animals with exoskeletons are like spiders, ants, crabs, and snails.

Compare and contrast the structure and function of the plasma membrane to the structure and function of the cell wall.

Makovka662 [10]

well usually cell wall helps to maintain the shape of the plant cell which plasma can't do.

both of them controls movement of substances into in and out of the cell.

<h3>sturuture:</h3>

plasma membrane contain outer membrane that surrounds the entire contents of cell and made of protein and phospholids.

cell wall are strong n rigid, made from celllouse fibre and fully permeable

Section of DNA that provibes instuctions for specific traits

Zina [86]

Answer:

Genes.

Explanation:

Genes are small sections of DNA within the genome that code for proteins. They contain the instructions for our individual characteristics – like eye and hair color. A gene is a small section of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific molecule, usually a protein

How is population defined in ecology?

ycow [4]

<h2> ☸ANSWER☸. </h2>

In genetics a population is a group of interbreeding individuals of the same species, which is isolated from other groups. In population ecology a population is a group of individuals of the same species inhabiting the same area.
