Q: All species have evolved a pattern of living, called a life history strategy, in which they partition energy for growth, maintenance, and what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: 45.2 Life Histories and Natural Selection All species have evolved a pattern of living, called a life history strategy, in which they partition energy for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. These patterns evolve through natural selection; they allow species to adapt to their environment to obtain the resources they need to successfully reproduce. There is an inverse relationship between fecundity and parental care. A species may reproduce early in life to ensure surviving to a reproductive age or reproduce later in life to become larger and healthier and better able to give parental care. A species may reproduce once (semelparity) or many times (iteroparity) in its life. Choices: - variation - abundance - deatn - reproduction A:
(Answer)
reproduction

Q: Which ocean zone is the narrow strip along a coastline that is covered by water at high tide and exposed to air at low tide? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: One of the most familiar ocean zones is the intertidal zone.
