OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

"all organisms are equal, but some organisms are more equal than others"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it D

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

d is partly correct but only as a by product of B) some organisms were more likely to reproduce

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

B is the correct answer because only organisms most fit for survival will reproduce and survive and thrive and out live others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its c

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

no lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK YOU

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

it was the Darwinian postulation that regardless of how long a organism lives its entirely dependant on its ability to survive an ecosystem and the competion thereof

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

it doesnt matter if i have a life spand of 100000 years if i cant walk or move my hands

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

if a bird has the life expectancy of 999999 years it will still die out before a bird with a 20 year life span if it cannot adapt to its environ faster

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

life expectancy is fickle and is not accurate and relies on aspersions

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

what matters is the organisms ability to use its unique traits to survive a environment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i gotta 70 thats good but i gtg good night thx 4 da help

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

i dont care if i am the biggest most muscly dude in the world; if i am put in an environment were speed is required i will die and vice versa

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

if i am the smartest person in the world but get placed in a situation where i need strength and stamina i will die

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

@naomi12345

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

if i am the sexiest guy in the whole world then i will still be poor if i dont have the basic skills to get a job

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

the possibilities are endless but the conclusion remains the same: ONLY ORGANISMS WITH THE ABILITY TO SURVIVE IN UNIQUE AND INIMITABLE ENVIRONMENTS WILL SURVIVE REGARDLESS OF THE life span of others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is the answer. To be more "fit" in these terms means to have traits that will aid you in being better able to survive and reproduce.

OpenStudy (arabpride):

FORGOT* x-x lolz im joking too cx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know. I really did get seventh place at a smart person tournament though, a fact i am VERY proud of. However, i slightly disagree with some of your reasoning when answering this question, it is completely circumstantial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example, if you were, going back to prae's example, the most muscley dude ever" even if you weren't as smart as others, because of society's infatuation with good looks, you would still probably be able to hold a job and possibly make more money than someone who was both smart and personable and driven because the world is weird like that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes? do i have completely faulty logic or not?

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Yea' Yea' ~

OpenStudy (anonymous):
