Answer:

A gene mutation is an alteration of the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Gene mutations can be caused by errors in DNA replication during cell division by both mitosis and meiosis. In addition, gene mutations are caused by environmental factors such as UV and chemicals. These factors are called mutagens.

How do adaptations help Ann organism to reduce competition for food and other resourses
Gre4nikov [31]
An organism adapting to its environment leads it to be more ‘equipped’ for survival.
Competition is when other species fight for the same resources that another species needs. Also, it would produce offspring with these adaptations.

An example (to help you better understand);

A blue jay has great eyesight, strong wings, and sharp beak. (Better adapted organism) Another blue jay has great eyesight, weak wings, and dull beak. (The competitor/unadapted)

Both birds find the same food source and are now competing for it. The first bird has sharp beams, which is better for breaking, and ‘chomping’ the seeds/food. The second bird would struggle to consume its food (seed) unless it’s worms.

So which one is better adapted? The first blue jay.

And i hope this helped show how competition can be reduced.
