Question

Which of the following would be considered a benefit of overproduction?

A) The exponential growth of a population
B) The survival of the fittest due to competition for resources
C) The exchange of genetic material between populations
D) The change in an ecosystem due to the increased population

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B) "The survival of the fittest due to competition for resources"

Step-by-step explanation:

Darwinian evolutionary theory explains that natural selection allows for the species improvement by the "survival of the fittest". Overproduction in a defined ecosystem would eventually lead to species improvement due to competition for resources. More individuals of animals and plants would need more resources to survive, the competition for resources would be a determinant factor for natural selection.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is B, the survival of the fittest due to competition for resources. Survival of the fittest is a term that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory was a way of describing the mechanism of natural selection. The biological concept of fitness is  defined as reproductive success. Many organism overproduce to increase chances of survival for their organisms due to competition.
