5 Written Questions

1. The cost of breaking up a potentially well-adapted genome. Due to two haploids coming together, one from male other from female., refers to the fact that in sexual reproduction, offspring are only one half related to each parent.
2. the process of choosing which needs will be satisfied and how much of our resources we will use to satisfy them
3. How organisms are spaced in their environment.
4. A population that relies on immigration, fewer offspring produced than can coexist (numbers decline)
5. process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully; also called survival of the fittest

5. E.G. trade of between present and future reproduction versus: fecundity, growth, adult longevity, and survival. - the belief that evolutionary change is modulated and constrained by such trade-offs is a central pillar of evolutionary thought - the existence of trade-offs is not disputed, but there is little understanding of how trade-offs evolve, or indeed if they can evolve.
