Question

Natural selection involves energetic trade-offs between ________. Group of answer choices high survival rates of offspring and the cost of parental care increasing the number of individuals produced during each reproductive episode and a corresponding decrease in parental care producing large numbers of gametes when employing internal fertilization versus fewer numbers of gametes when employing external fertilization choosing how many offspring to produce over the course of a lifetime and how long to live Next

Answer 1

The correct answer is ''high survival rates of offspring and the cost of parental care''

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the differential reproduction of some genetic variants with respect to others. Natural selection favors individuals who maximize their total reproductive success throughout life, that is, it favors certain phenotypes or variants are associated with greater offspring and / or greater survival, that also means that selection will favor those who stop spending on a particular breed at the right time to invest in another, that is, the amount of energy invested in each of them. This same natural selection also favors those genes that make it effective when the body that carries them is in development to extract all possible parental investment from their parents.
