This is a typical example of R selection life strategy. These species, including the Atlantic cod, produce a large number of offspring with a low chance of surviving to adulthood. This strategy is particularly successful in environments that are unstable. The main advantage of this strategy in changing environments is that the ''cost'' of making offspring is very low, so you the species can produce large numbers offspring, ensuring that at least some of them will survive into adulthood and continue the species.
Natural selection, in this case, favors the individuals that are able to adapt the fastest to the changing conditions.
If an organism has a mutation, that helps it survive, it will breed and this mutation will keep in the gene pool. Out of all listed choices, the only mutation that will help an organism survive is c). The better a rabbit can hide from predators, the longer it will survive and the more will breed
<span>I think you might be asking about the 3 different osmotic conditions a cell might find itself in. Isotonic is the normal cell environment where water moves in and out of the cell freely and equally in both directions. It is in osmotic equilibrium so to speak. The concentration of water and solutes is equal on both sides of the cello membrane. In a hypotonic solution the cell will gain water and swell up -...</span>
