NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An example of overproduction in animals is sea turtle hatchlings. A sea turtle can lay up to 110 eggs but most of them won’t survive to reproduce fertile offspring. Only the best adapted sea turtles will survive and reproduce fertile offspring.

Detailed explanation-2: -Species like fish and turtles have many predators, so overproduction increases the odds of survival for the genetic line. In all species, overproduction helps to improve the genetic line by supporting survival of the fittest.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overproduction of offspring: Giraffes produced more young than the trees in their environment could support. Differential survival and reproduction: Because the long-necked giraffes could feed from taller trees, they were more likely to survive and produce more offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection occurs in specific populations of organisms because of several factors. It begins with overproduction. Overproduction by definition, in biology, means that each generation has more offspring than can be supported by the environment. Because of this, competition takes place for limited resources.

Detailed explanation-5: -Overproduction is defined as any type of production that is more than needed or before it’s needed. It can result in excess inventory and it consumes time, effort, money, materials and resources that could have otherwise been spent more effectively elsewhere.
