Question

Which would you expect from an organism with high annual survival?

a) reproduction beginning at an early age

b) relatively low fecundity

c) high life expectancy

d) large offspring

Answer 1

c) is the correct answer high life expectancy because when the life expectancy is higher vegetative growth will be higher both in plants and animals this informs the annual survival of organisms .

a)if reproduction stage starts at early age causes the death of annuals so ,the annual survival is short .when the start of reproductive stage ,vegetative phase should be ended that means growth is ended. Thus ,the early age of reproduction stage indicates the low annual survival rate. So ,this is not the option.

b)&d) number of the offspring and size of the offsprings doesn't a have any relation to the annual survival of the organisms . So these are not the options.
