Question

URGENT: you are studying a small animal that lives in an environment that experiences frequent and severe drought. which of the following reproductive strategies would this animal likely exhibit?

a. many offspring, low parental involvement, early maturation
b. few offspring, low parental involvement, early maturation
c. few offspring, high parental involvement, late maturation
d. many offspring, high parental involvement, late maturation

Answer 1

many offspring, low parental involvement, early maturation

Step-by-step explanation:

if the mother doesn't have to stay with the offspring, then she wouldn't need to share food and water with her offspring during a drought, which would decrease her and her offspring's chances of survival. if the mother has many offspring at once, they are more likely to have just a few of them to survive.

Answer 2

I think the answer is c. Hope this helps
