Which characteristic is typical of a k-strategist?**A. short life span B. produces many offspring C. generally a small organism D. a lot of parental care ---**22. What does the graph in Figure 5-2 tell you? (Islet = small island)**A. farther from land, more biodiversity B. larger the islet, more biodiversity C. islet size and biodiversity are not related D. biodiversity decreases with islet size **Figure 5-2 Description:**The graph in Figure 5-2 illustrates the relationship between islet size and biodiversity.
