Question
Chapter 18.4, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason due to which the organisms that show extended parental care cannot produce a large number of offsprings.
Introduction:
The organisms represent either opportunistic or equilibrium life cycle. The type of survivorship, the maturation period, number of offsprings and the size of offsprings differ between the organisms that represent the two life cycles.
