Explanation:

1. For the first question: A physical survival trait directly helps an organism stay alive in its environment, avoiding threats or accessing resources. A physical reproductive trait helps an organism attract mates, compete for partners, or successfully produce/offspring, focusing on passing on genes rather than individual survival.
2. For the second question: Without reproduction, no new individuals of the species can be born. As existing organisms die of old age, disease, or injury, the population will shrink until no members remain.

Answer:

1. A physical survival trait supports an organism's ability to live in its environment (e.g., thick fur for cold climates, camouflage to avoid predators), while a physical reproductive trait supports an organism's ability to mate and produce offspring (e.g., bright plumage in birds to attract mates, large antlers in deer to compete for partners).
2. The species would go extinct. Over time, the existing members of the species would die, and no new individuals would be born to replace them, leading to the complete disappearance of the species.
