NEET Biology question
I. Population evolve to maximise their reproductive fitness, also called Darwinian reproductive fitness (higher r value), in the habitat in which they live II. The population growth rate r is inversely related to generation time III. The housefly, which has a short life span and produces a large number of eggs, could be considered as a 'K' selected species IV. Under a particular set of selection pressures, organisms evolve towards the most efficient reproductive strategies V. Life history traits of organisms have evolved in relation to the constraints imposed by biotic and abiotic factors in the habitat. Select the combination of correct statements
Solution
Statements I, II, IV and V are all correct descriptions of population life-history evolution, but Statement III is false because the housefly, with its
