Fish species a has a gestation time of three months and lays 300 eggs per clutch. fish species b has a gestation time of 5 months and lays 200 eggs per clutch. which fish species would make a better model organism, and why? fish a because it will have longer generation times and more offspring fish a because it will have shorter generation times and more offspring fish b because it will have longer generation times and fewer offspring fish b because it will have shorter generation times and fewer offspring

B.Fish A because it will have shorter generation times and more offspring .

Explanation:

We have two species of fish A and B

Fish A has a gestation time of three months and lays 300 eggs per clutch.

Fish B has a gestation time of 5 months and lays 200 eggs per clutch.

We have to find which one makes better model organism and why.

We can see that fish A has gestation period of 3 months and fish B has gestation period  of 5 months and produced 300 offsprings by fish A and 200 offsprings by fish B .The number of offsprings produced by fish B are smaller than the number of offsprings produced by fish A.The time taken by fish A for gestation is shorter than the time taken for gestation by fish B.

We can see that fish A takes short time for gestation and gives large number of offsprings and fish B takes longer time and gives  small number of offsprings.

Therefore, fish A  makes better model organism because it takes shorter time and gives large number of offsprings .

Hence, option B is true.

B.Fish A because it will have shorter generation times and more offspring .

only about ten percent of the energy at one trophic level is passed on to organisms at the next trophic level. the remainder of the energy is used in life processes or lost as heat.
