Question

PLZ HELP!!!The green frog (Lithobates clamitans clamitans) is found in many parts of the United States. The table contains some information about this frog.Why does the ability to lay 1,000 to 5,000 eggs increase the fitness of the species L. clamitans clamitans? *

It increases opportunities for offspring to compete for limited resources.

It increases the probability that some offspring will survive long enough to reproduce.

It increases the probability that moving water will promote migration from one population to another.

It increases the chance of the traits mixing, leading to random changes in the population.

Answer 1

Option B, It increases the probability that some offspring will survive long enough to reproduce.

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the number of eggs, the larger will be the available opportunities for at least few of the youngsters to develop into adult being and survive till the age of fertility. This shall enhance the chances of producing new offspring before the older one dies thereby replacing them without changing the population number and further producing offspring that can survive to replace them and continue this chain.

Hence, option B is correct
