Asingle female frog can lay as many as 10,000 eggs in a breeding season, each egg carrying a unique combination of genes from its parents. of these, all but a few are eaten or otherwise killed before reaching adulthood. how might laying so many eggs affect the long-term survival of the frogs should the environment change?

a.)since females can already lay large numbers of eggs, they would lay even more if the environment changed.

b.)many of the females would die if there were a change for the worse in the environment.

c.)changes in the environment would tend to favor the individuals with genetic combinations that made them bigger and more able to survive.

d.)with so many genetic combinations, it is likely that a few individuals would have traits that would them survive the changed environment.

The correct answer is- D.)

As per the information in the question, a single frog lays 10,000 eggs in a season, out of which many are killed and eaten before reaching adulthood stage.

Different eggs have different genetic combinations, some having beneficial genes that allows them to adapt better in the changing environmental conditions.

Due to this, natural selection would favor those genetic combinations that increase their survival rate and thus the specific trait ( which are beneficial for the organism) will propagate in the next generation. This will favor the long term survival of frogs with change in the environment.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (replication is not conservative);

bacteria could be both, harmful and to us. harmful bacteria could make us sick and probably even by getting the chances of getting a disease, but good bacteria fight it off with your immune system. there is always bacteria everywhere we go. we need to make sure to wash our hands after using the restroom, before eating, after eating, after petting an animal too. so you see, bacteria is everywhere and is harmful or . i hope this . : ) : ) : )
