When we say that an individual organism has a greater fitness than another individual, we specificallymean that the organism

Question 27 options:

a. lives longer than others of its species.

b. competes for resources more successfully than others of its species.

c. mates more frequently than others of its species.

d. utilizes resources more efficiently than other species occupying similar niches.

e. leaves more viable offspring than others of its species.

Option E, leaves more viable offspring than others of its species

Explanation:

A fit species is one that is able to survive in adverse conditions when most of its other mates fail to do so.  

The species which is strong and viable enough to feed itself and reproduce successfully emerge as a fit species. Likewise, the offspring of fit species are viable and fit enough to survive, feed themselves and further reproduce successfully.  

Hence, option E is correct

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
