The best reason for this, in my opinion, might be because there are many, many predators in the ocean so overproduction maybe so that there will still be seahorses who survive. ( I don't know if this is totally accurate to your question but for me, that would be the first idea that comes to mind.) I hope this will help.

Explanation:

Natural selection takes place in particular kinds of populations of species due to various elements. It starts with overproduction. In biology, overproduction means that each generation exhibits more offspring than can be encouraged by the environment.  

In the case of seahorse, overproduction takes place due to the limited availability of resources and the threat of predators. The phenomenon of overproduction facilitates to better the genetic line by encouraging the survival of the fittest. As the resources are confined, so those offspring that are best able to adapt to the challenges of the environment possesses the tendency to survive.

Show how selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation relate to genetic variation. Match the words in the left column to th
Semmy [17]

Answer:

1.  Mutation- increase genetic variation

2. Selection- may increase, decrease or maintain genetic variation

3. Genetic drift- decrease genetic variation.

4. Gene flow- may increase or decrease genetic variation

Explanation:

1. A mutation refers to the changes in the DNA in an organism. The mutation of genes in DNA produces new adaptive features to evolve which increases the genetic variation of the organisms.

2. The natural selection favors the species which are best suited to live in that natural conditions. The natural selection, therefore, may increase or decrease the variation in a population.

3. Genetic drift is the phenomenon occurs due to random event which changes the gene pool of the population. When the genetic drift phenomenon is observed than the genetic variation of that population usually decreases.

4. Gene flow is the phenomenon in which the gene pool changes die to immigration and emigration. Therefore the phenomenon may increase or decrease genetic variation.

Korolek [52]

Option  -  food is the correct answer.

Food vessels such as fu, gui, and dui were popular in Zhou times. These disappeared during the Han dynasty, during which the ding, zhong, hu, and fang were the main vessel types used. In Western and Eastern Han, the ding was one of the most common bronze-derived shapes in pottery.
