Which of the following is an example of a trade-off in life history?
A bird lays many small eggs to increase the likelihood that at least one will survive
A tree produces many small seeds that can be dispersed widely by the wind
A mammal invests heavily in the growth and development of a single offspring
A fish migrates from freshwater to saltwater to take advantage of different feeding opportunities
Answers (1)
Correct option (c)
For correct Option C
When an organism must divide its scarce resources among several life histories qualities, such as growth, reproduction, and survival, this is known as a life history trade-off.
An illustration of a life history trade-off is when a mammal devotes significant resources to the growth and development of a single offspring at the expense of the parent's own survival or future reproductive success.
For Incorrect Option A
an organism creates numerous little children to enhance the possibility that at least some will survive, but with less investment in each offspring. This is an example of bet-hedging.
For Incorrect Option B
An example of a seed dispersal strategy is in which an organism generates several little seeds to improve its chances of successfully colonizing new habitats.
For Incorrect Option D
It is an illustration of a migration strategy in which an organism uses many habitats as sources of food, without necessarily sacrificing one life history feature for another.
