Give an example of how two organisms are interdependent. why must an adaptation be inheritable if it is to cause a population to evolve? what is natural selection? if two organisms share the same kingdom, must they also share the same domain? explain. critical thinking a female frog has a genetic trait that prevents it from producing eggs. how likely is it that this trait will spread through the frog population? explain your answer.\

1. Interdependent organisms are the ones that interact with each other in their environment in order to survive (e.g. symbiosis, competition). For example, ants and acacia trees are in mutualistic, symbiotic relationship. The ants benefit by living in the acacia tree. On the other hand, the tree benefits when the ants eat the insects that eat the leaves of the trees.

2. Adaptation has to be inheritable in order to enable to offspring better surviving. The ones with better surviving capability, will be favored by natural selection.

3. Natural selection is the evolutionary mechanism that causes populations to become adapted to their environments over time by favoring heritable traits that improve survival and reproduction. Those traits will increase in frequency over generations because resources are limited in nature, and organisms with better surviving capability will tend to leave more offspring than their peers.

4. The answer is yes.  Organisms that share the same kingdom, must also share the same domain, because domain is the highest taxonomic rank (the kingdom is right below it).

5. The female frog can't produce eggs, so it won’t pass the genetic trait on.
