Question

(4.05 MC)Which of the following would be considered a benefit of overproduction?

The increase in genetic variation of a population
The exponential growth of a population
The exchange of genetic material between populations
The change in an ecosystem due to the increased population

Answer 1

A). The increase in genetic variation of a population
I just took 4.05 Animal Adaptations

Answer 2

Ans.

Overproduction can be defined a condition, when organisms of a species reproduce many more progeny that can possibly survive in a particular region. It represents a driving force in natural selection, since it may result in variations and adaptations in a population.

A benefit of overproduction is that it improves the chances of survival of the species as it leads to increase in genetic variation of that specie.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'the increase in genetic variation of a population.'
