would you expect in a species that reproduces
sexually, reaches sexual maturity relatively quickly,
and provides little parental care? Choose all that
apply.
A heavy parasite load
A predictable environment
A low parasite load
An unpredictable environment
A small number of eggs per reproductive effort
A large number of eggs per reproductive effort
socially, sexually, seasonally are the options
Females of a lizard species each produced, on average, about 15 eggs during one breeding season, and about the same number of eggs during each of the next four breeding seasons. This suggests that
Group of answer choices
the cost of reproduction is relatively high for these females
the idea of trade-offs does not apply to this species
the cost of reproduction is relatively low for these females
this species is semelparous
there must be high mortality among females in this species

- Is the following case study an r-strategist or a K-strategist? American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Offspring are left to develop, hatch, and grow on their own, maturing in about three months.arrow_forwardPopulations of organisms can be found as clumps, randomly dispersed, or uniformly dispersed. Classify each of the following populations by the way it is dispersed in its ecosystem.

- Many factors influence a species mode of reproduction. Use the descriptions of the following species to predict what system of hermaphroditism they probably display. 1. Individuals rarely disperse once they are sexually mature, and the largest males get the most matings. Females protect the eggs. [Select] 2. Resources are of uniform quality and evenly dispersed, so males are unable to monopolize them. Females are larger than males; Males protect the eggs. [Select] 3. Individuals are solitary, rarely meet others, and have no way of knowing the sex ratio in the population. There is no parental care.
