Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
which of the following characteristics would you expect to see in a species in which parents invest a lot of energy to raise their young?
A. fast maturation
B. low reproductive rate
C. reproduction early in life

Answer 1

When approaching this question, think about some standard animals to compare with, for parents that expend a lot of energy, I think humans would be a good example, and for animals that don't expend a lot of energy, think about flies.
Hope that helps :)

Answer 2

I believe it would be low reproductive rate. Compared to humans think about how human parents send the adult child out into the real world on their own because the parent has done their job keeping their child alive until they've matured and are now able to reproduce the same thing goes for animals and their parenting. This actually applies to a lot of parent Mammals.
