Answer:

In 1964 2.6 bales per hectare while in 2008, 380 bushels per hectare.

Explanation:

in 1964, the average corn yield was 2.6 bales per hectare which is equals to 570 kg per hectare while in 2008, the average yield of corn was 380 bushels per hectare which is equals to 9655 kg per hectare. This increase in the productivity of corn crop is due to advancement of technology, high yielding seed varieties and reduces post harvest losses. The yield of 2008 is 17 times higher than 1964.

Explain how the reproductive strategies of mosquitoes and elephants help them overcome the natural threats of their environments
Gnoma [55]

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.
