Detailed explanation-1: -K-selected species are adapted to stable, predictable environments. Populations of K-selected species tend to exist close to their carrying capacity. These species tend to have larger, but fewer, offspring and contribute large amounts of resources to each offspring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: K-selected populations produce few offspring with a high chance of survival. These individuals have a long life expectancy, can reproduce more than once, then die more rapidly as they age. Therefore the answer is B.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are the Characteristics of K Selected Species? Ans: The factors or characteristics of K selected species include slow development, low reproductive rate, late reproductive age, large body size, multiple reproductive cycles, long lifespan, strong competitive ability, and low offspring mortality.
Detailed explanation-4: -Slow development. Low reproductive rate. Late reproductive age. Large body size. Multiple reproductive cycles. Long lifespan. Strong competitive ability. Low offspring mortality. More items •13-Dec-2021
