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.

in addition to spreading humanist ideas, erasmus has contributed to criticism of corruption in the church.

the corpus luteum secretes estrogens and progesterone. the latter hormone causes changes in the uterus that make it more suitable for implantation of the fertilized ovum and the nourishment of the embryo. if the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum becomes inactive after 10–14 days, and menstruation occurs.

i hope this : )
